Snowman Dress Up
Snowman Dress Up
Challenge your kiddos to figure out how many different color combinations they can dress a snowman in. Cut out a snowman from a piece of white paper. Next, make three hats and three scarves out of different colored construction paper. Then let your kids dress the snowman in scarfs and hats of different colors. Have them count each of the color combinations to determine the total possible.

Did you know that every snowflake is symmetrical? Something that is symmetrical is the same on both sides. Humans are generally symmetrical too. Snowflakes have even more symmetry than that, they have what is called 6 sided rotational symmetry. This means that no matter which way you turn a snowflake it will be perfectly symmetrical! You can use shape blocks, cut outs or cotton swabs to practice making symmetrical snowflakes with your kiddos. Another fun way to practice symmetry is to make some good old fashioned paper snowflakes! All you need is some paper and scissors.
