WILD CHILD: Is all snow the same?

Today's wintermission is to compare the snow.

The warm rainy weekend followed by snow overnight has left patches of icy snow and fresh fluffy snow. Today as you head outside to enjoy the fresh air, take time to notice the difference.

Where do you find more snow? Can your little one offer ideas about why snow stayed in some areas but melted in others? Try to crush the different patches of snow. Which kind is your favourite? I love the sound of the crunchy icy snow, but enjoy slipping and sliding on the smooth icy sheets that have a thin dusting of fresh snow.

If you try this idea or any of our other wintermission challenges , please share your experience with us on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram! Tag us and include the hashtag #wintermission. Inspire others to head outside and find joy in the winter.
