| Snow covered extension |
On Tuesday morning we woke to find everything covered in a blanket of snow! It was the first snowfall of the winter and Poppet immediately requested that we "make a noman"!
We had toddler group in the morning and Poppet still naps in the afternoon so I wasn't sure when we would fit in some fun in the snow. We got home at lunchtime with Little fast asleep in the pushchair so we grabbed the opportunity, ate a chocolate bar each in lieu of lunch , and went to play outside
Poppet loves making footprints in the snow, but we noticed someone else had got there first (bloody cats!).
She dubiously followed my instructions to lay down in the show and make a snow angel. She wasn't that impressed with the finished result.
Unfortunately the snow was really powdery and we just couldn't get it to form a snow ball to make a snowman, so instead we made a 'snow-boat' (it was originally a snow car but then Poppet started questioning me on wheels so I quickly changed plans). She was very happy jumping in and out of her boat!
We dug all of the pine cones from Poppet's play garden up out of the snow as I have plans to use them in some Christmas crafts; Poppet really liked finding them - "there's another one!".
We did eventually return to our snowman building attempts; it took an age of shovelling snow into a pile to get this far. At which point Poppet called time on our efforts and requested a hot chocolate break, and I happily obliged.

awww it is nice to have a little sprinkling of snow - enough for the children to have some fun in and it looks like Poppet really enjopyed her snow time :) making a snow angel is so much fun! x

thankyou, was a nice hour of playing!
DeleteWow that's amazing! Where is it? So early for snow! xx
ReplyDeleteAberdeenshire! All gone now though, it was a bit unexpected!
DeleteI am jealous of your snow and the fun you had making snow angels and a snowman. It would be so lovely to have snow at christmas but living in Cornwall means it's normally too mild and we missed out last year when everyone else was having fun in the snow. Thanks for linking up and sharing with Country Kids.
ReplyDeleteoh no, thats a shame you missed out last year, I can't imagine not having snow, we get some much! though it tends to be at easter strangely and not christmas! thanks
DeleteHow lovely that you were able to enjoy the first snow before it disappeared! Love the snow boat :) #CountryKids
ReplyDeletei know it was lucky we got out because it had disappeared by the next day!
DeleteSnow is so much fun for the kids. Impressed how your kids took immediate advantage of the benefits of a sprinkling ofsnow!
