Teach your child draw a snowman. It's a great snowy day craft that will help you teach about basic geometric shapes. You don't need many materials to do this--in fact, you probably have them at hand--a pencil and a sheet of white paper. Children will have fun doing this and won't realize they're learning.
Instructions
1. Start with three circles. Have your child draw three circles, preferably one larger than the other, with the smallest one stacked on the top and the largest circle on the bottom.
2. Add eyes for the snowman. Instruct your child to draw two eyes in the smallest top-most circle. Be sure that he draws the eyes high enough in the circle to leave sufficient space to fit a nose and mouth.
3. Draw a nose. Here's the perfect time to teach your child draw an elongated triangle. Have him place the triangle beneath the pair of eyes.
4. Make your snowman smile. Not all snowmen have mouths; however, this snowman will have a wonderful little smile. Have your child draw several small circles arranged in a semicircular fashion to form a smile just below the triangular nose.
5. Endow the snowman with arms. Have the child draw straight lines on each side of the snowman, extending from the middle circle for arms. Three short lines at the end of each arm will serve as fingers.
6. Give the snowman a hat. Instruct your child to draw a slim rectangle for the brim of the hat and a larger rectangle to place above it to form a top hat.
