Interactive Reading: The Snowy Day, written by Ezra Jack Keats





Today the book chosen by my two-year-old was The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats.
When I read her stories we tend to interact whether it's through puppets, drawings, or even painting. (Sometimes even short plays) She seems to really enjoy the interaction. Today we did some interaction using her Magnetic Easel board. If you would like to create your own interactive story here is what you will need.

Materials I used for this simple activity were:

Craft paper
Crayons
Pieces of magnetic tape
scissors
laminate sheet

We created the little boy Peter, a snowman, a few buildings with snow packed on the roofs, snowballs, and snow hills.  It was so much fun! My daughter was Peter throughout the story, and she even made him throw a few snowballs. We did some counting, and color identification, and made peter walk up a few snow hills.

    I love that book so much. It was one of my favorites when I was a child. I think this is such a great idea, the figures came out so well!
