The children also try to share their winter clothes with Sneezy the Snowman. They end up feeling cold and he ends up feeling hot. The story ends with everyone going to get ice cream.
JDaniel loved the rhythmic lines and rhymes in this story as well as the text that repeats every time he melts.
What did we do to explore Sneezy the Snowman?
Observed Snowman Ice Cubes
JDaniel didn’t seem to care. He had a blast playing with the disks in a large bowl with kitchen utensils. It was fun to watch them melt the more they were played with. This was a great way to explore how solids become liquids.
Made Snowman Soup
Once everything was thoroughly mixed, the soup was placed into containers. I put the snowman soup mix into the decorated bottles. JDaniel used a funnel to add the soup mixture into the now empty coffee creamer container and another bottle we had on hand.
We both added large marshmallows into our bottles periodically. I think I added them half way up and at the top. JDaniel added them randomly through his containers.

I just checked this book is not available here. But it sounds like a cute one :)The other day, I told Aarya to fill a container with water and we added eyes and nose; and kept in the freezer. Next day he saw ice; was not happy at all 🙂 We then went and got some tools and tried breaking through it, with little luck and then I asked him if we should just give up and leave it:) Of course it melted – and Aarya liked that his water was back lol!
