Preschool Printables: S is for Snow

Here's another fun preschool packet made with PicMonkey...

S is for snow!

Writing Readiness

Print this page off, so the kids can trace the uppercase and lowercase letters with their finger.  Then have them use it as a guide to practice writing the letter S on individual dry erase boards or chalkboards.  They can color on the page when they are done.

Reading

The library is filled with fantastic books themed around winter and snow.  I'm sure your shelves at home have some great options too.

Here are a few of our favorites that fit the theme...

The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats

Owl Moon by Jane Yolen

Ladybug Girl and the Big Snow by Jacky Davis

Old Bear and His Cub by Olivier Dunrea

&

The Mitten by Jan Brett

Fine Motor

Tracing is a great way for kids to work on fine motor, concentration, and prewriting skills.

Get outside and play in the snow!  If there is no snow, this would be a great time for some imaginative play.

Sensory

Let the kids play with snow--real or artificial.  If there is snow on the ground outside, bring some inside for them to play with.  Other options: Buy the powder that makes artificial snow when mixed with water--Super Snow!  This can be bought from school supply stores or even online.  You can also crush ice in a blender and place it in a tub or bowl for the kids to play with.

Preschool Science

*Talk about the seasons.

*Demonstrate what happens to ice or snow when it melts and talk about why this happens.  When Lydia Grace was playing with the snow, she noticed that it began melting.  When I asked her why that was happening, she responded, "It is too warm inside for snow.  When it gets warm, it turns into water."  You'd be amazed at what scientific discoveries preschoolers can make!
