Is it snowing where you live? While we would love to be playing in real snow, that just isn’t going to happen here in Florida so we have to get creative. Whether it’s really snowing where you live or you just want to pretend it is, these winter small worlds are a fun way to inspire kids to engage in winter pretend play. Use them as inspiration for your own winter small world during your preschool or kindergarten winter theme.
