Snow Day Fun
Snow Day Fun
When the snow falls, it's time for fun! The world turns white. Everything looks soft and new.
Building a Snowman
First, we make a big ball of snow. Then, we roll it and roll it. It gets bigger and bigger! We make another ball and put it on top. That's the snowman's body. Then, we make a small ball for the head. We use rocks for eyes and a carrot for the nose. A stick makes a good smile. Now we have a snowman!
Playing in the Snow
We can make snow angels. We lie down in the snow and move our arms up and down. We move our legs back and forth. When we get up, there is a snow angel! We can also throw snowballs. It's fun to throw them at trees, but not at people. Snowball fights are fun if everyone agrees.
Warm Drinks After Snow Play
After playing in the snow, we come inside. Our faces are cold. Our hands are cold too. We drink hot chocolate. It warms us up. We feel happy and cozy. Snow days are the best!
