The Last Snowman of Winter
The Last Snowman of Winter
The winter is almost over and we have ONE more snowman craft to share with you...
You need:
White paint (for the print)
Darker paper (for the background)
Small sticks (for the arms) and some glue
(You can also draw the arms, then you won't need sticks or glue)
Black paint (for the buttons and mouth)
Marker (for the eyes and hair)
and orange paint or marker or a piece of orange paper (for the nose)
You ALSO need YOUR BARE FOOT and some paper towel to wipe up.
Step 1: Spread some old newspapers on the working surface. That will make clean up easy!
Step 2: Spread white paint on the bottom of your foot (sole) and then step on the piece of paper.
Since you are already messy, make several more prints to share with your friends or mail to someone special.
Step 3: Decorate your snowman foot print using the photo to help you.
Maybe you can also write a few sentences about how this snowman feels about the end of winter. Or where he will go until next winter.
You can also write a poem or a song. Look through the bolg for ideas.
Be sure to wipe the bottom of your foot before you put it on the floor!
Step 4: Clean up!!

Cartoon Sack Race for Kids-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYSj-vpKCiY
Materials:
You will need a sack to race in. This can be a potato sack, a pillow case, and large bags, anything you might have in the house that you can get into and jump around in.
Players:
There can be as many players as you want, make sure each person has a sack to race in.
Game Time:
You will need a start and finish line.
At the start line place all the sacks.
When the whistle from a referee/parent/any person not racing, says ‘GO’, players will get into their sack.
Players will place both feet in the sack and begin hopping toward the finish line.
Players must keep both feet in sack at all times and at least one hand on the sack at all times.
If possible, the sack must stay as close to the player’s waist as possible and should not fall below the knees.
This game can be player over and over again.
Enjoy!!

3 Legged Race - Game
3 Legged Race - Game
THANK YOU to Dr. Lauren at Valdosta State University for this submission.
Watch this video so you have an idea how to play this game. You need at least 4 people.
Steps for a 3 Legged Race-
Materials -
A rope or cloth- you need something long enough to tie around each person’s ankles and strong enough not to break when you are moving.
A large playing surface.
Something to make 2 lines- one for a start line and one for the end line. You can use cones, string, chalk, even clothes for these lines.
Players -
You can play with as many players as you want. There is no limit of the number of players to race with and against.
Set Up -
Step 1- When choosing a partner to race with, choose a person who has similar leg length and similar height as you.
Step 2- Stand side-by-side with your partner facing the same direction with your legs touching each other.
Step 3- Either you or your partner can tie the rope or cloth, or you can have someone else tie the rope or cloth securely around the ankles of you and your partner.
Step 4- Each person’s arms goes around the other person’s waist. This way when you both walk together you are in unison.
Step5- You and your can partner practice walking and then running together in sync with your ankles attached with the rope.
Race Time -
Set up 2 lines opposite the field/court/playing surface. One line will be the start and one line will be the finish.
At the starting line, line up all the 3 legged competitors.
When a referee says ‘GO’ all competitors will race to the finish line.
You can play this game as many times as you want.
Have fun!!!

Pancakes for Breakfast by Tomie dePaola
Pancakes for Breakfast
by Tomie dePaola
This is a WORDLESS picture book. The idea is that the story is told using ONLY illustrations.
Can you follow the story?
I bet you want to make some pancakes, now, don't you. Maybe you can ask your parents to let you do that - even if you make them for LUNCH or SUPPER.
Be sure to tell them about the story and let everyone see the video, too.
YUMMY!
