Why This Snowflake Poetry Craft Is Awesome for Winter Haiku Fun
My boys and I have mixed feelings about winter.
We love the crisp, cold air. And how clear the morning sky shines.
Plus, all the fabulous opportunities to play in the snow! We live near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, pretty close to a snow belt. All that snow means lots of time to build snowmen, go sledding, and have massive snowball fights.
But, we don't care for frigid temperatures and ice that keep us trapped indoors and create cabin fever. So, we look for new ways to keep the winter fun going despite all that yuck.
This year, we're focusing on a creative way to make that winter fun as fantastic as possible. And that focus is on such a tiny thing.
A snowflake.
Well, lots of snowflakes 😉 All working together to create a winter wonderland!
To honor the snowflake, the boys and I decided to add a Snowflake Poetry Craft for Winter Haiku Fun to our Poetry Teatime-Holiday Edition celebration. We've been chatting and learning about snowflakes through fun activities, so this craft seemed like a perfect addition 🙂
