Here’s what you’ll need:

Here’s what you do:

Tear different sheets of colored construction paper into small pieces.
Glue these pieces onto a separate sheet of construction paper to form a snowy day scene.
Tear a separate piece of paper to look like your child.
Paste this into the scene. (This will be the cover of your story.)
On a piece of notebook paper begin a story that starts, “If it snowed I would ____ and _____.”
Ask your child to fill in the blanks with action verbs.
When he is done, ask him to reread the story to you.
Staple the story to the back of the snowy day scene.

Other ideas:

Make a list of fun things to do on a snowy day.
If there is snow where you live, go outside and play in the snow with your child.
Get bundled up on a cold winter day and take a walk with your child. Let the conversation be led by your child.
