My kids had a blast today making their wintery poems and landscapes adorned with their very own snow suit character! 

I asked my 5 year old to think about winter and use his senses to write a poem. His answers surprised me as I helped him spell them out. All of those things describe his life perfectly at this very moment. He is hopeful in Santa and presents, loves sausage, has a child-like faith in God, and LOVES to eat snow!

Garett (age 11) made a ninja snow suit and disguised himself with a beard. He better watch out for that person behind him throwing a snowball! I love how his acrostic poem boasts his silly and imaginative personality. 

My 13 year old made one too but only because I asked him to make me a sample for my download. Even though this was a "little kid project", I appreciated his willingness to help me. I love his cute Santa snow suit and winter writing prompt.
