Do you want to build a snowman?
With TP rolls! How fun is this invitation for children to build their TP rolls snowman by stacking TP rolls on each other in a kitchen towel holder? Great motor skill activity for the little hands!
Learn Counting and Addition
And of course, I sneaked in some numeracy learning in this one. For children who are learning to count, invite them to count the buttons on the snowman and add on the hat with the matching number. For bigger kids who are ready to take on the addition challenge, stack on more snowman bodies, add up the buttons on the snowman and find the hat with the correct answer.
