Make a collage of sporting events in winter, vacation spots in winter, or things found in the winter. Kids love to cut out items in magazines for this project. Have them clue them on contruction paper (can be different colored) and hang them.  Or if you could hang them in the hallway by your door so that everyone who passes by will see them.

Answer 3

Well, this is what you can do:

1. Either you or the kids cut 3 circles. One small, medium and large.(for a snowman) and glue them together in order

2.Next, you have the kids glue 3 buttons on the middle (medium) snowman.

3.Then, you cut out skinny strips of brown paper for the arms and glue them on.

4. Instead of making a face out of a carrot etc. You have them bring in a picture or you use their school pics and glue it in the face.

Answer 4

You could make a paper quilt to display in the classroom. Let the kids color and/or paint quilt squares with a winter theme and have them help assemble the pieces with tape or glue.

Answer 8

Make a Valentines Day card.

Answer 9

snowmen (use glue and shaving cream and let them paint it on a snowman cut out - takes a couple days to dry but it's fluffy and awesome) - they can add chocolate chip eyes, candy corn nose, felt scarf and buttons.  We did this last week and they turned out great!  The children love the sensory sensation of the mixture.

Answer 10

make cut-out paper snowflakes...

Answer 11

do spring time collage, like pick up leaves off the ground and take blossem from the trees although it isn't really spring, maybe do a winter on and put fake snow over a paper mashae igloo and do lickle snow men and maybe if u can or know sum 1 who can knit little hats and srafs for the miniture snowmen. And get every kid 2 do one and then sell them at a reasonable price as you sell cake with icing sugar on and put up white decorations. U no them paper hoop things like paper chains but in whites and pale colours, that'll keep the little kids busy and you could earn some money in the process to spend on a sand pit!!
