Answer 1

Well you can take cotton balls and make snow pictures or use shaving cream/whip cream and let them write in it on a table.  Food projects are always fun too!

Answer 2

AS a class make a life size snowman on the floor of the class room then let everyone color on it at the same time.

Answer 3

In my preschool class we did a winter wonderland that lasted the entire week.

Monday - snowmen with cotton balls.

Tuesday - collage penguin’s with a base a cut out and scraps of paper.

Wednesday -Feather painted snow doves with white and blue paint

Thursday- Snowflakes with Glitter and rice

Friday -they well allow to place each item the made somewhere on the wall. When it was done the parent and administration love it.

Answer 4

i am in school for early childhood education..

for winter activities..

1) home-made snow globes are always fun..

for this you need glitter, baby food jar, something that (YOU HAVE) pre-glue gunned onto the lid, etc. (google search it)

2) bake some goodies with the kids, let them decorate

3) stretch out large sheets of paper and let the children trace each-other, creating their own "snow angels", let them paint and glue things to their angel

Answer 5

You can make paper snowflakes, and decorate them with glue and glitter.  I did this with my kids last month and they loved it.
