LET IT SNOW ☃️❄️🌨⁣
⁣
These are some snow & snowman-themed favorites I’ve been using in therapy throughout the last month! ⁣
⁣
👇🏼 Check out these tips to make reading more fun for your preschooler @ home during winter! ⁣
⁣
❄️ Bundle up & read outdoors! Bring your little one’s favorite winter, snow, snowman, or arctic animal-themed book outside to read together in the snow!⁣
⁣
❄️ Build a reading fort! If it’s just too cold to go outside, grab some pillows and blankets, re-arrange some furniture, and build a reading fort. Have your child pick out a stack of books, crawl inside, get comfy, and read! ⁣
⁣
❄️ Read to your pets or stuffed animals! Bring your pet or a few stuffed animals into your reading fort for some extra company. Encourage your little one to “read” some of their favorite books to them! ⁣
