More and less, bigger and smaller!

Ready to build a snowman and do a little engineering??? 
It takes practice and learning to understand how big the base of the snowman should be, and the relative sizes of the other two snowballs. Be prepared to let children try to put a large head on top, then figure out why it didn't stay on. While building, use the words "more" and "less," as well as "bigger" and "smaller" to help build these important scientific and mathematical concepts.

So What, If The Snow's Melting!

We'll make our own!


Gan Bet mixed cornstarch and shaving cream....



...and were thrilled to have instant "Fluffy Stuff"!





"Hey, look! I made a snowball!"



"I'm a snow-monster!"



"We can even make it snow with snowflakes!"


We used this experience to reinforce Hebrew language related to winter, too!
What a fun and messy way to engage our senses at winter-time!
