Make a Polar Bear Snow Gauge
Does your child love snow as much as polar bears do? Before you jump in, measure the snow to see how deep it is!
What You Need:
- 1 large white pom-pom
- 2 small white pom-poms
- 1 small black pom-pom
- 2 mini-black pom-poms
- craft glue (or cool-glue gun)
- 12-inch ruler
What You Do:
- Glue the small white pom-poms on to the top of the large one to create ears. Then glue the small black pom-pom on as the nose and the mini-black pom-poms on as the eyes.
- Hold the ruler vertically, so the 12-inch mark is up and the 1-inch mark is down. Put glue on the top edge of the ruler and attach your polar bear head. Let the glue dry. (Hint: Prop up the ruler between two stacks of books.)
- After it snows, take your polar bear outside to measure just how much it snowed. Keep the polar bear at the top and stick the other end all the way to the ground. Now read how far the snow comes up on the snow gauge ruler. That's how much snow is on the ground. If it snows more than 12 inches where you live, you can make a snow gauge with a yardstick.
