Snow Day Schooling

Since my kids and I have YET ANOTHER snow day today (my 7th, my son's 5th 😬) I decided to search for activities to try to keep them engaged (and to keep me from pulling my hair out). 

This morning, they were engaged for over 90 minutes painting with snow!

 

After they were done snow painting, we launched into an activity rooted in science. As they are only 3 and 6 they didn't know we were doing a science experiment on density and buoyancy. They just thought we were dumping objects in water. We got some great science vocabulary in there: "prediction" and "observation" : a great intro to the scientific method! 

Thank God for Pinteret on snow days!!
