Snow That Sticks
It is almost officially winter and there is still no snow. Brother and sister think about ways they can encourage the snow to come — and in addition to a snow dance and song, they make lots of paper snowflakes. When they bring the paper flakes outside, they are dazzled by what happens.
Projects, Crafts, and Recipes for this Story
Sparkle Crafts: Stitched Snowflakes and Cranberry Garlands
Craft your own handmade cranberry garland using berries and wheat-O's. And with some simple materials – a bit of yarn, some recycled cardboard – you can make your own snowflakes that stick around even if there’s none out your door.
Sparkle Kitchen: Butternut Squash Chili
My favorite chili involves lots of canned goods, which are so much easier to keep on hand. It's also nearly vegetarian, with a butternut squash standing in admirably for the typical beef. Pop these ingredients into a pot, give it a stir, and enjoy the warm smell of it bubbling away!
