Although it comes with cold weather, nasty roads and everything gets wet, snow is so magical. It creates such a calming peace, when I can watch it from inside my warm house! It also makes a fun theme for learning activities for kids. I am sharing some of my favorite Snowflake Theme Learning Activities for kids. I have included math, literacy, art & crafts, sensory and science. These are perfect for filling up a themed week or creating fun activities for a snow day.
