And I know there are some of you with snow on the ground too...
This is another simple (and free!) sensory activity that O loved, though not for a very long period of time. He was quite curious about the snow and it's temperature. He pulled off little bits and pieces, would hold them between his fingers and then look to see that it was gone. If he left his hand on the snow for too long, it would get cold and he'd lift if off and pull it back away from the snow, only to put the other hand on it. He was not upset by the coldness, it seemed to intrigue him.
He was 5 months for this experience.
I will probably do something similar with him this year, in addition to attempting to play outside. Taking time in a comfortable space to closely examine nature is important and will most likely be more meaningful and a better experience. Bundling up with lots of layers and being in the cold and hills of snow I'm sure will be overwhelming and he probably won't learn to much from that type of snow exposure other then he'd rather be indoors. We'll see, he may love it out there, especially in a sled.
