Since we didn't get any measurable snow in January, I decided to incorporate snow into my sensory activity. I gave each student a picture of a cardinal glued onto a piece of construction paper. The students added snow (shredded white paper that I ran through a crosscut shredder), pipe cleaner legs, and feathers. I chose this activity because our state bird is the cardinal, and the teacher was doing a unit on winter animals.
I found my feathers after Christmas at Michael's. The bag came with red, green, and white feathers. All I had to do was separate them.
When I was cleaning out my basement, I found an old box of tractor feed paper. I ripped off a few pages and ran it through my shredder while I got ready for work. It was a lot faster than shredding one sheet at a time.
