What to have - Black construction paper - Snowflakes or ice cubes - A portable CD or MP3 player with music
What to do This is a magical lesson that complements the weather. Take the children outside on a snowy day. Give each of them a piece of black construction paper. Play some music, and ask the children to move around, catching snowflakes on their paper. See what they create and how they move to the music. Bring the paper art indoors and see what happens when their creations melt. If you live where it does not snow, children can use ice cubes to draw on the paper and see what happens when it dries.
Why Children are learning creative expression when they move around to music and collect snowflakes. They are experiencing nature and observing the different patterns formed by the falling snowflakes.
