DLTK's Holiday Activities for Kids
Five Little Snowflakes
Felt Board Rhyme
Shelley (a viewer) sent in this great rhyme and I put together
a few templates to go with. You can use the rhyme with
the templates a few ways. Shelley suggested giving each
child one of the templates and letting them hold theirs up at
the appropriate time in the rhyme (you can tape a straw or popsicle
stick onto the bottom to make them like puppets... the kids
seem to like waving puppets around more than just holding up
pieces of paper).

You could also make the templates as felt board characters. Simply
glue a small piece of coarse sandpaper or felt onto the back of each template
so it will hang on the felt board. Place the pieces onto the felt
board as you do the rhyme.
OPTIONAL: cover the templates in clear contact paper (bought as
a roll from your local office supply store for under $5) to make them last
longer.

Close the template window after printing to return to
this screen.
-
Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting
the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in
most browsers).
print 5:
Template 1 (snowflake)
(color) or
(B&W)
print 1:
Template 2 (sun)
(color) or
(B&W)
If you want to practice number identification with the kids,
replace Template 1 (the snowflake with the face) with the
Simple Shapes Snowflake. Write the numbers 1 thru 5 in the center
of the simple shapes snowflake.
