Another great holiday project. This works well with teaching small, medium, and large to early grades as they put their own snowmen together using pre-cut circles. Before we began, I had the kids all close their eyes and we pretended like we woke up to a big snowfall (they had to use their imaginations since we live in a warm climate). They shared what they would do in the snow -including making a snowman. Then we sang the snowman song and then discussed the features of snowmen and then I handed out their project supplies. I had them use white oil pastels for the snow because it shows up better on the dark paper.

Circle Snowman

Gingerbread Man
This is a great holiday project. We started off by reading the classic story of The Gingerbread Man and then discussed the characteristics that gingerbread men have and then I had them design their own on 5x7 pieces of brown construction paper. I had them use oil pastels for this project because they show up very bright on the brown paper. They did the "icing" first and then added any other details that they wanted. They then glued them down to "baking sheets" -which were made with cardboard covered with aluminum foil.
