We recently taught Abby how to make snow angels. Yes, she's 3.5 years old and she had never made a snow angel before. The reason is because she had never owned a pair of snow pants before now, so we had never really encouraged her to lay in snow.

Anyway, she did enjoy the process for awhile.


And made a few good angels. See?


But she quickly became bored with angels and started thinking outside the box. Here, she is showing me a new type of snow creature....


"What is it, Abby?" I asked.
"It's a snow slug!! And you make it like THIS! I'll show you."

She belly-flopped onto the ground. I cringed, thinking she'd hurt herself, but she was very well padded. And she slithered across the snow to create her snow slugs.

I guess snow angels are so passé!
