Snow Play by Birgitta Ralston


Face it: we live in Iowa, it's winter, and sooner or later we'll have snow. Until then, take some time to plan fun family snow adventures, as suggested in Snow Play. From snow angels and simple snowmen, to elaborate sculptures, snow slides, and structures big enough to stand up in, this idea book offers clear instructions, lists of tools and equipment, suggested difficulty of projects and the length of time each should take. It also sparks the imagination, especially the section called Magical Lights, which includes a winter campfire, snowball lanterns, and even a frosted cake. This year, be prepared for winter with plans to get the family outdoors and make something fun and unusual with ideas from Snow Play. You'll find this book in the Juvenile Non-fiction section (J796.9 Ral) but most of these activities need an adult helper, so dig out the long underwear.
