This craft page is really a listening and language lesson. To build the snowman your child has to follow spoken directions with position words like bottom, top, on and under, and compare sizes using big, medium and small. Those words come up constantly in early reading and in math. Cutting along the dashed squares and gluing the pieces in place also strengthens the small hand muscles that will soon control a pencil.

Short descriptions in our own words. About our standards.
Read each direction aloud and ask your child to point to the right piece before gluing. Children often stack the balls in the wrong order; ask "which ball should hold up the others?" and let them fix it. Cutting straight lines around each piece is enough, there is no need to cut the round edges.
Easier: Cut out the pieces yourself and let your child arrange and glue them. Use a glue stick and do one piece at a time, naming it as you go.
Harder: Give directions without pointing, like "glue the scarf under the head," and ask your child to tell you the order back. Add a sun or a tree to the picture.
