Snowballs by Lois Ehlert

I know, it is still February and this should be a Black History month post, but if you live in the Northeastern part of the USA, you are experiencing yet another snow storm (well it is still winter, and remember the groundhog from the February 2 post?).  So here is a great book to spark some activities to do with your young ones.  Time to clean out the collection of buttons, ribbons, paper, crayons and other crafty items to keep them busy while the snow falls, until they can get outside and make their own snowballs. Bird watching would be a fun activitiy as well.  Be sure to have the binoculars (and camera) handy. Here is a create your own Lois Ehlert bird activity.  I love this author's books for her stories and clever illustrations.  An interview with the author would be a fun video to share as well. It could be a very long few days with your kids. Have fun with it!
