Snowmen Measuring

Happy Saturday!

I wanted to share a snowman measuring activity that I did with my students on Friday. We have been reading snowmen books all week so we got to do this fun math/writing activity on Friday.

First, I showed the kids how to draw a snowman on a large piece of construction paper and then they glued it down to the blue piece of construction paper. It’s nice to let them be creative sometimes!

Then, I cut out pieces of black (hat), orange (nose), red (scarf) and various colors (buttons) and passed them out to each table and let the kids come up with their own design. Some kiddos wanted a crown instead of a hat 🙂

The kids drew on the arms, eyes, and ears with a black marker.

Next, it was on the measuring. Students used unifex cubes and measured from the bottom of the snowman to the top of the snowman and recorded it on the recording strip at the bottom.

Finally, it was on to the writing. The students have to sketch their snowman and then give it at name. It is a great way to wrap up your snowman unit!

You can find this unit at my TpT store for free 🙂
