Letter S/ Snowman Preschool Theme

We are going to go through the alphabet again, but this time we will not be going in order.  Today we talked about the letter S and snowman!
There are a lot of fun activities to go along with a snowman theme.  We reviewed the sound the letter S makes and did several activities from Confessions of a Homeschoolers Letter S Snowman Pack.
We read "Snowman All Year" and since we do not own that book I read it online to my son through wegivebooks.org.  We also sang a favorite song, "Once There Was a Snowman" several times.  Here is a video of the song that I made in 2012 if you want to learn it.

Here is a fun freebie book that your child can color and help you read.
We also did a version of this name snowman that you can see here. I didn't want one so big so I cut out smaller circles and my son wrote the letters of his name on each circle.   Then he glued them onto a piece of paper.  He thought that tracing his hands to make stick like snowman arms was a good idea so I helped him do that.  It kind of makes the snowman look angel like, but I don't care because it was his idea and I think it is great to see that creativity come out.
We saw the new Disney movie Frozen at Thanksgiving time and we all loved it.  I came across this Olaf Snowman and new my son would get a big kick out of making his own.  I cut it out and he glued it on some paper.
We also watched the cute song that Olaf sings about summer time from the movie and talked about how snow melts when the weather gets warm.

Here are some more snow and snowman ideas:

Snowmen

Today we talked about snowmen.  There are some fun activities out there for snowmen.  
Today in First Grade has a fun snowman sequencing printable.
We had fun singing "Once There Was a Snowman" with the actions.  Here is a video of my 4 year old and nearly two year old doing the actions.


Playing with Words 365 has a really fun Snowman, Snowman What do you See? Printable book.  We had a lot of fun with this book.
 There are lots of edible and also crafty snowmen projects out there.  We did a simple one using marshmallows, mini chocolate chips, and a popsicle stick.  My son had a lot of fun and it was easy for him to hold with the popsicle stick at the bottm.
 Living Life Intentionally has a free Snowman printable pack that includes this snowman scissor practice.

We also enjoyed this Snowman color by sight word sheet that you can find at The Moffat Girls Shop for free.
We haven't done this last idea, but I want to.  It is using circles of a snowman to write your name.  They used their last names.  I will probably do our first names.

And if possible in our area, go out and build a real snowman!

S is for snowman

We talked about the letter S today.  We did Confessions of a Homeschoolers letter S activities.  Every time we talk about a letter we also visit http://www.starfall.com/ and do the activities for that letter.  My boys absolutely LOVE being able to do stuff on the computer!
