Snow Crafts and Activities for Toddlers and Preschoolers

I’m keeping my fingers crossed that this year will be the year that the kids get to see snow in the UK even just a little snowflake would be good. But for many children this may be the first year that they experience or the memory of snow sticks in their minds, capturing those moments and extended on it through play and crafts is one of the joys of winter. So here are some fun Snow and Ice Themed Crafts and Activities ideal for Toddlers and Preschoolers.
