snowman sequence

Grade: kindergarten
Theme: Sequencing Stories


Materials: large Blue construction paper, white paper, precut black/grey hat, scarf and "carrot" nose - 2 for each student, Q-tips, paint cup/tray, yellow circle, black crayon, white paint, glue, "first, then, finally, next" print out.

step 1: pre fold the paper into 4 sections
step 2: talk about what happens when it snows, how to build a snowman, and what happens when it gets warm again.
Step 3: direct students to use the q-tip in the paint to add snow falling from the sky.  (Since this grade level is working on counting we will count the number of snowflakes we place on the paper) and add the snow that has stuck to the ground.
step 4: in the 2nd section have the students, still using the q-tip, paint a snowman (it is still snowing)
step 5: repeat step 4 in the 3rd section make sure there are fewer snowflakes falling from the sky
step 6: add the top hat, scarf and nose to the snowman in the 3rd section.
step 7: in the last section paint just a mound of snow on the ground, glue the sun to the sky (add triangles with a pencil).  Glue the second hat, nose, and gloves to the pile of snow.  This shows that the snow has stopped, the sun has come out, and the snowman has melted.

When all the paint is dry use the pencil to add the eyes, mouth, and shirt buttons.
