Snowy Owls and Socks

This quick activity teaches:
  • critical thinking
  • counting
  • make-believe

Explain: the snowy owl has feathers on its feet to keep them warm in the cold weather.
Ask: How do you keep your feet warm?
Try: 
  1. Put as many socks on your foot as you can.
  2. Count as you put each sock on.
  3. Flap and Dance like an owl to the song Snow Owl from the CD Ice Castle by Mother Goose Time
This idea was taken with permission from Mother Goose Time Lesson Plan Book of December 2008
