   2. What do you like about your artwork?
   3. How were you feeling when you made your snowflake? Why?

1) Find a comfortable spot and sing the following song with the child: 

​“The polar bear lives in Alaska,
He never gets cold in a storm,
He swims in cold icy water,
His heavy coat keeps him warm.
Warm, warm, warm, warm,
His heavy coat keeps him warm.
Warm, warm, warm, warm,
His heavy coat keeps him warm”
(sung to the tune of "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean)

2)  When finished, create the memory craft by painting the child’s hand with the white paint. Press it down on the paper and allow to dry.
3)  Add a bear face to the thumb of the print. Add paws on the other four legs.
