FUN WITH SNOW

SHOVELING SNOW
Toddlers can have a lot of fun out in the snow with a small metal or plastic dust pan.

Show your child how to scoop up the snow and toss it aside.

Dust pans can also be used to make designs in the snow, by moving them across the top of the snow.
 
SNOWBALL TOSS
Set out a basket or cardboard box.
Stack up a pile of small snow balls.
Have your child try to toss the snowballs into the basket.
Count how many snowballs they get in the basket.
Variation: Have child try to toss the snowballs at a snowman in your yard.
 
INDOOR SNOW FUN
Fill a large dish pan with snow.
Bring it in the house and put it in the bathtub.
Let your child sit in the tub (clothed) and play with the snow.
Provide your child with some measuring cups, small containers, and a small safe spoon.
  
CARDBOARD BOX SLED
You can make a quick sled for your toddler by using a cardboard box.
Place your child in the box and push her around the yard.
Or you can add a rope handle by poking a hole on one side and tying it on.
Variation: Old baby bathtubs work great as sleds also.
 
SNOWMAN’S HATS
Create a small child sized snowman for your child.
Bring out a variety of hats for your child to place on and off the snowman.
