Snow, mark making and baking!

We were so excited to last Tuesday to arrive at nursery and the playground was white!  Some of us decided to spend the whole session outside once we had wrapped up warm.  We were exploring all of the marks we can make in the snow with our feet, hands and some of the digging tools. We were fascinated with our foot prints and were seeing who could make the biggest!  We were using words such as cold, chilly, frosty, glittery and discussing that the snow looked like icing - we decided it might not be as nice to taste though. 

We experimented with snowballs, snow drifts and snowmen.  The children were showing each other the best way to make a snowball then how to roll it into a small snowman. 

We were so glad the children inside decided to make some warm buns for our snack.  They worked so well as a team reading the ingredients that were needed and measuring them out very carefully making the most delicious vanilla buns.  It warmed us right up again.
