What is a glyph? You can read more about that HERE.
As a kindergarten teacher, I know the difficulties of completing a multi-step snowman craft for kids that involves many pieces and parts. That's exactly why I designed this glyph.
NO MORE MAKING THE KIDS WAIT
(which turns into chaos) while you pass out pieces in between questions!
EVERYTHING YOU NEED IS INCLUDED,
and the students' template packet is in the order in which you will present the "listen and respond" tasks.

Download, print, and follow the simple prep directions. Each student gets a stapled packet, scissors, crayons, and glue. If you're slightly OCD, like myself, then I suggest keeping a trashcan nearby. You'll want them to thrown away the scraps as you progress from page to page. It helps keep everyone stay on track, and prevents them from losing their materials.
Snowman Listen and Do Craft |
After building the snowman body, students will color, cut, and glue the eyes, nose, and scarf, and draw the mouth. The color and placement of these attributes will answer whether they are a boy/girl, if they like carrots, if they like to play in the snow, and what color eyes they have.

Snowman Glyph Questions |
The next page in the packet has the mittens, arms, and buttons. Now, you will be able to see what the student's favorite color, and how old they are. Some of my students colored their mittens different colors, because they couldn't decide which one is their favorite. As long as they can explain that - I'm ok with different colored mittens :)

The last attribute is the snowman's hat. There are two hat templates to choose from - striped and polka dots. Striped hats are for those who've built a snowman; Polka dot hats are for those who have not built a snowman.
Living in northeast Ohio, I was surprised to see nearly half of my class had not yet built a snowman! I sure have...it's a Winter tradition for my family!
