Hello Educators, The first snowfall of the season brought joy. This week, the children’s dreams came true. For days, they had been begging for snow—dragging sleds across dry grass, remembering last year, and asking when the snow was coming. And they got their wish. We got our first snow last Wednesday, and their joy was immeasurable.

They built snowmen, zipped down our small slope on their sleds, and tasted the snowflakes as they fell from the sky. The children even ate the snow from the trees, laughing with delight as they caught icy drizzle on their tongues. There’s something about snow that calls to their curious, adventurous spirits, and this week, it answered.
In addition, the little ones are averse to wearing gloves, so it isn’t fun for everyone at times. I currently have two toddlers, and one is not sure of the snow as yet; I am sure she will get used to it in a couple of weeks or so.

One of their favorite tools for play is a blue snowman mold I purchased from Target years ago. Though it’s old, it is in very good condition and well-loved, and it remains a cherished part of our winter days. Alongside their sleds, it sparks endless laughter and creativity, transforming our outdoor space into a world of possibilities with many snowmen.

The snow didn’t last long; all their snowmen melted the next day.
Now, the children eagerly anticipate a white winter filled with outdoor fun, quiet investigations, and endless discoveries.
