In preschool we read the book "Snowballs" by Lois Ehlert
http://books.google.com/books?id=z6hdupspgh4C&dq=snowballs&printsec=frontcover&source=bn&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=6&ct=result#PPA1,M1
I love this book because all of the objects for the snowmen are just "stuff". I rummaged through junk draws,walked around outside picking up "stuff" and had to eat many kisses for the cause. It was a sacrifice for the good of art. What can I say ,I am a dedicated teacher. The children had a crazy spread to choose from after they painted pictures of snowmen at the easel. I love how they are all so different. The snowflakes are just glue squirted on waxpaper,sprinkled with glitter and some sequin snowflakes. Three year olds and glue gone wild! This was one time we didn't say " a little dab will do ya" or "kissy dots kissy dots."
