Five Little Snowflakes Activity

Still need a rhyme, but could go to 5 little monkeys?

Instructions:Bring a snowflake story to life with this idea from Shelley! --HERE'S HOW-- Shelley (a viewer) sent in this great rhyme and I put together a few templates to go with. You can use the rhyme with the templates a few ways. Shelley suggested giving each child one of the templates and letting them hold theirs up at the appropriate time in the rhyme (you can tape a straw or popsicle stick onto the bottom to make them like puppets... the kids seem to like waving puppets around more than just holding up pieces of paper). You could also make the templates as felt board characters. Simply glue a small piece of coarse sandpaper or felt onto the back of each template so it will hang on the felt board. Place the pieces onto the felt board as you do the rhyme. OPTIONAL: cover the templates in clear contact paper (bought as a roll from your local office supply store for under $5) to make them last longer. The kids can help make it!! :D See the pictures for templates! :) Good Luck!
