Winter Activity

Put on a heavy winter glove. Estimate the number of   marshmallows, pretend snowballs, you can grab with one hand. Then count the actual number of  "snowballs" you were able to grab. Subtract the difference between your estimated number and the actual number. How close was your estimate?

After the guessing game we used the marshmallows to make snowmen. We used pretzels to hold the marshmallows together and to make arms and faces. They tasted delicious!
