Introduce your fourth grader to the concepts of solstices by observing the length of her shadow on the shortest day of the year, compared to other solstices.

Your child will create her own falling snowflakes using white paper and glue them over a tree, so it appears as if they are falling from the sky.

This snowman's not abominable, he's adorable! Your child can bring her very own snowman to life while practicing how to create texture.
