Let children foldcoffee filters in half, then fourths and eighths. Cut little “bites” out of the folded edges. Open. You can make colorful snowflakes by coloring the coffeefilters with water soluble markers before cutting them.
Hint! Make snowflakes out of newspaper,tissue paper, wrapping paper, and other types of recycled paper.
Ice Skating
Give each child 2paper plates. Demonstrate how toplace these on the floor and put one foot on each plate. Slide your feet as if skating. Put on some waltz music and let thechildren skate, twist, and turn. Play “freeze.” When youstop the music children must “freeze” in their positions. When the music begins again they maycontinue to skate.

Snow Seeds– (Pamela Pounds, AL)
To make snowseeds put rice and white glitter in a ziplock bag with this note:
Sprinkle freelyin your yard.
Close your eyes,and wish real hard.
If you can getthe north wind to blow,
In the morningyou’ll have snow.
If for somereason all you get is rain,
Pick the seedsup and try again.
