What to do:
Use the cards in the snowman soup kit to show kids how to make each recipe for snowman soup by placing the items in their bowl.
Option 1:
Place the recipe cards at one end of the room and have kids complete locomotor skills to deliver each ingredient of their recipe to the container or grab some tongs or tweezers to increase the fine motor challenge.
Option 2
Throw all of the ingredients into one big sensory bin and have kids dig for each item that they need for their soup to be complete. With 8 different recipes to choose from, this activity is sure to keep kids busy and happy for a while!
Don’t forget to read the directions for how to mix up the soup so kids can serve it to you or a friend! Snowman soup is definitely best served cold as a gazpacho! :) The directions include movements to target direction-following, balance, jumping, galloping, and skipping.
