Cold weather brings activities indoors, and the holidays provide extra inspiration for arts and crafts time. Blending creativity with language arts and math is a winning combination for learning while having fun. This winter edition builds on snow, snow-people and snowflakes and inspires even our youngest readers with gifts they can make at home. Reinforce recycling and reusing with the “un-meltable” Snow Person and hot chocolate Snowman constructed from findings around the house. Establish new family traditions while building memories during your “together time.”
