Happy Snowman Card Craft
- Great for School - Great for at Home...
This snowman card craft is designed to promote motor skills while enciting fun. Before students can gift these cards, they must first cut out the puzzle pieces, arrange them correctly, and then glue them to the intended card surface.
Puzzle piece counts are determined by age with younger grade puzzles having a lower piece count than older student puzzles. See Sample.
As with all MyStoriesAndPoems' crafts, a Theme-Story has been written to coincide with it. Educators and parents may choose to have childrens' card-poems about the story submitted to MSAP for *critiques. MSAP offers several ways for educators to blend the craft into classroom programs. The craft is also great for Holiday Parties and at-home fun.
Method 1 - MSAP provides cards and puzzles printed on heavyweight stock paper plus Winter Holiday Theme-Stories.
Students read Theme Stories and write Theme-Story Poems inside cards. This method works best when poems are typed, printed, cut, and pasted inside cards as opposed
to handwriting poems inside cards.
This method offers, at teachers' option, MSAP critiques of student Theme-Story Poems.

Method 2 - MSAP provides puzzles printed on heavyweight stock or bond paper. Students cut out and paste their puzzles
to top fold of teacher provided card bases such as stock paper or construction paper.

to cut that is best suited for their youngesters. Younger graders receive puzzles with fewer cuts
and older graders receive puzzles with more cuts.
All puzzle cuts consist of straight lines only.
NOTICE! *Critique Info* Critiques are conducted over the internet. This method allows for prompt turn-around and helps to assure student receipt of critiqued poems in time to insert them into inner portions of craft cards. It must be noted, however; that (1) educators are responsible for timely submission of student poems; (2) MSAP requires up to three days to assess critiques, and (3) critiques are evaluated on a first come first served basis.
