Tips for Parents:

  Show your child how to use the tweezers and place the pompoms in the correct spots. This helps them understand the activity.
• Encourage Conversation:
  Talk about the colors with your toddler. For example, “Can you find the yellow pompom?” or “Where does the red pompom go?”
• Repeat for Understanding:
  Repetition helps with learning, so encourage your child to match colors multiple times.
• Teach Colors:
  Use this activity as an opportunity to teach colors. Ask questions like, “What color is this?” or “Can you show me something else that’s blue?”

This simple snowman activity not only helps with color recognition but also improves fine motor skills as your toddler uses the tweezers. Enjoy a fun and educational winter-themed playtime!
