Melting snowman experiment!

The Melting Snowmen activity is a fun, hands-on exploration that supports children’s early scientific thinking. Children observe real or model “snowmen” made from ice and predict what might happen as they begin to melt. Throughout the activity, they talk about changes in temperature, compare sizes as the snowmen shrink, and use language such as cold, melting, smaller, and water.

This activity encourages curiosity, critical thinking, and vocabulary development. Children practice simple skills like observing, questioning, and describing what they see. It also supports mathematical learning as they compare amounts of water and notice how the shapes change.

Overall, the Melting Snowmen activity provides an engaging, playful introduction to early science concepts while supporting communication, language, and understanding of the world.
