Winter is coming! And what better way to get excited for snowy weather than by learning about it with your kids!
Since we don’t get a lot of snow down here in the South, we’re always fascinated by snowflakes. The few times we see them are basically national events, at least in our family. So I thought we’d learn a bit more about how snowflakes form, what makes them special, and toss in some other school subjects while we were at it.
We’ve put together a printable snowflakes unit study featuring math, language, writing, and science activities for kids in grades K-4! Read on to see how to get your copy!
And, if you enjoy this unit, be sure to check out our list of 50 free winter printables for kids!
