Bundle up for a flurry of fun with our The Snow Thief activities, perfect for crafting a winter wonderland of learning! This cool set invites young learners to color the main character, a sneaky squirrel with a knack for snow shenanigans. Students will frost their skills across a snowscape of activities—from creating unique snowflakes using shapes to diving deep into story elements like character, setting, and the frosty problems they encounter. They’ll piece together the sequence of the tale, construct sentences with icy-crisp vocabulary, and chill out with reading comprehension activities tailored to the snowy context of the story.

As they compare and contrast with Venn diagrams and engage in the Connect Four Flakes games, learners will sharpen both their math skills and knack for rhyming. Whether cutting out snowflakes or tracing words, each activity is designed to strengthen fine motor skills and bolster social interactions, making it an ideal pack for fostering literacy and cooperation among budding winter scholars. So, let’s get snowballing—great adventures await in the snowy pages of The Snow Thief activities!

  • Color the main character.
