The BIGGEST Snowman Ever Book Extension

Books about snow are always a big hit with children everywhere. This book in particular is a great book to teach your children about team work. We all love Steven Kroll's characters, Desmond and Clayton!  In this book, these two little mice work together to build the BIGGEST SNOWMAN EVER!!
The Biggest Snowman Ever Book Activity K-2
Get it here!

We also want to tell you about a favorite activity that one of our favorite Kindergarten teacher does with this book.  She has all her students tear up pieces of white construction paper into 1 inch pieces. (white copy paper works fine too.)  She doesn't tell the student "why".   Once they have finished, they try to hold all the pieces in their hand, they stand in a circle, and she counts...one, two, three...then, they "MAKE IT SNOW"!!!!  They throw all the pieces in the air.  Yes, it's crazy.  Yes, it's a mess.  But, now you read the book.  And now it's their turn to build THE BIGGEST SNOWMAN EVER!  They work hard to pick up all the "snow" and glue it down to make a class snowman!!  You can also make them in groups to see who makes the biggest.
HAVE FUN!!!
