Flat snowmen were fun, but these were too!
Each set of partners received a tray of snow-doh (really cold) and beads.
The only other tool they needed was their hands!
We discussed how circles are flat and spheres are fat.
Their instruction was to work together to mold 3 spheres: 1 small, 1 medium, and 1 large.
Then stack them. As you can see, each snowman was different, but the point was to make a sphere, so we loved the 4 sphere snowman just as much!
Once complete, we moved around the classroom asking the children to place a certain number of buttons on their snowman.
This was a neat way to work on our developing one-to-one correspondence!
We used beads, but real buttons would work too!
The best part is that you can do this together right at home, just mix up a batch of homemade play-doh, stick it in the refrigerator and have a blast!
