They’re nothing fancy, but you can print them out onto red construction paper and have your students cut them out. I know not everyone can or has the time to draw the figures for this project, so I want to provide them here for you to download. I’m not a great artist by any means, but I did draw the outlines for our red cutout figures of Peter. Snow angels are so pretty and I wanted to make mine like the picture in the book of Peter making snow angels.

I’m a kid at heart who loves art, too, so I always make the projects alongside my kids. 😉 But similar tracks could be made by just using their pinky finger to press down in the paint. Now, a butterknife wouldn’t be the safest in a classroom setting, I’m sure. My daughter used the rounded end of a butter knife to make Peter’s footprints in the snow. My son wanted to make his picture like a picture in the book of Peter climbing up a hill of snow. Since my kids love painting with this puffy paint, I thought this would be a perfect art project for us to do during art last week. It’s a simple, yet fun art activity to do after reading The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats: make tracks in the snow (equal parts shaving cream and white liquid glue) and add a small red figure cutout. It was from a post about ten things to do on a snow day and included this cute idea: One of my most popular winter pins is the one I found last year on a blog I love to read called.
