❄️ SNOW! ❄️

Happy New Year, friends! It's a brand new year. Some people like to make special promises to themselves at the beginning of a new year; they're called resolutions. My resolutions are to read a new book every week, and to play in the snow as soon as we get some! When there's lots of snow, I like to build snow friends. I also like to go sledding down big hills with my friends. But my favorite part of playing outside on snowy days might be coming back inside to warm up with a mug of hot chocolate (and don't forget the marshmallows!). What do you like to do on snowy days?

Percy's Tip for Grown-Ups: Snow offers lots of opportunities for creative outdoor play, along with a heaping dose of healthy exercise! Check out this great list of activities from Take Them Outside.

Percy's Picks for January:

So Much

Snow

Seven forest creatures, from a tiny mouse to a giant moose, hunker down in a snowstorm as they wonder when the snow will stop. Unique, beautiful and clever, this mostly wordless picture book captures the joy and surprises of a snowy winter day.

Percy's watching...

The Snowball Fight!

Why? Because snowball fights are fun! Noticing Little Bear's cabin fever and Father Bear's frustration working on a budget, Mother Bear sends them out for a walk in the snow which turns into a giant snowball fight.

Percy's playing...

Snow Search!

Why? Because Sid the Science Kid knows a big snow leads to big fun! This free game from PBS Kids asks players to use a shovel to help Sid find all the things in the yard that have been covered by the snow.
