We first read these very sweet stories---SNOWBALLS was actually written by someone local.
Doing the song of the snow flakes---"Snow flakes up, snow flakes down, snow flakes snow flakes all around." We'll let you know if the snow has heard its call and makes its appearance. (I have a strong hunch it'll be here tomorrow, again:)
Snow Art--the kids took a small balloon and dipped it into some white paste, and decorated with cue tips and paint. This is my little girl's snow women.
My Little Fairy Girl is outside painting the snow, with non toxic paint in spray bottles.
A few of the kids from the class climbing the "mountain" and making snow angels. After the class went back inside, they made snowman snacks by piercing marshmallows through rod pretzels and using raisins and candy corn to make the eyes and nose. The other really cute idea, and I'd like to do this at home is they had felt snowmen hanging on the walls, and felt accessories (hats, mittens, eyes, noses, mouth, etc) so you could decorate your snowman as you please.

We got a ton of Lois Ekhert books from the library a month or so ago, and they were all so beautiful. I didn't know she was a local to you!
She grew up in Beaver Dam, WI (not far from here) and currently resides in Milwaukee.
