Torn Paper Snow Pictures
Supply the children with a full sheet of blue paper and half sheet of white
paper. Ask them to make a winter scene by tearing pieces of the white paper and
gluing them onto the blue paper. Small amounts of other coloured paper may be
used.

Paint like a polar animal
Supply the children with paper and paint and have the children paint like a seal
or penguin might paint. You may want to have them put a pair of clean socks on
their hands to help them imagine not having fingers to use.
