Burnham Bunch: Snowman

Snowman

Read: There Was a Cold Lady That Swallowed Some Snow by Lucille Colandro and The Snowman Storybook with words by Raymond Briggs

Storyboard: As the story progresses prompt children to put story pieces on our Old Lady's apron.

Craft: Snowman

• Need: Craft paper in blue and orange, string, fabric scraps, sticker eyes, white poster paint and regular-size marshmallows.
• Prior to storytime, trace and cut snowmen from blue craft paper and carrot noses from orange paper. Trim string for the snowman's smile and trim fabric for scarf. Write child's name on each snowman.
• Set up each craft seat with snowman, marshmallow and a plate with a small amount of white paint.
• Instruct children to flip over snowman, so their name is on the backside and then paint snowman using the marshmallow as a stamp.
• When finished painting. Have children adhere (using glue or a bit of the paint) the nose, eyes, and scarf.

Well, we did have a bit of snow before today's craft....Well, at least some of us did! I had 2 inches at my house. But when I drove into work, there was not a flake to be seen! But it is COLD! So, I think the children will get the idea?

Hey, Mr. Snowman!
