Snowmen At Night - Part 1

         Oh those 

          wacky

         wild

         wily

         whimsical

         snowmen!

  What are they up to

             at night?         

After reading this fun story with a rhyming verse, it was only natural that we found ourselves making salt dough to fashion snowmen of every shape and size.  
The children worked together to make the dough, then divided it among themselves and began making their snowmen, decorating them each in their own unique way.

Some of the children reached for the sparkles after stacking little balls of dough atop each other.  Other children had different ideas.

Noodles, toothpicks, tubes and beads adorned many of the snowmen as the children added eyes, smiles, hair, arms and legs.  "My snowman is cold!  He needs a blanket."

A nice blanket of foam filling was just the thing the children needed to make their landscape. The snowmen were placed carefully about the 'snow'. They looked like a joyful bunch! But, we soon found out that the snowmen were hiding some wild and wandering ways behind their smiles.

But... that's Part 2!
