Encourage your child to pick from the following activities each day and keep a record of what they have done with evidence to show the teacher on their return to school. They can be followed in any order.
- Making things out of snow - how many different things can you make out of snow? Be creative! For example - snow car, rocket, snowman etc
- Making frozen bubbles -
What You'll Need:
Measuring cup
Soap powder
Sugar
Hot water
Bowl
Spoon or whisk
Bubble wand
This is an activity for a cold, cold (below freezing) day when there is no wind in the air.
Start by making a strong bubble solution. Mix 1/2 cup soap powder, 1/2 cup sugar, and 3 cups hot water. (This mixture will help the bubbles last longer.)
Take the bubble solution and a bubble wand outside. Blow a bubble, and catch it on the wand.
Let the bubble sit resting on the wand in the cold air. In the below-freezing chill, the bubble will soon freeze into a fragile crystal ball.
