Build a Snow Globe Activities | Winter Cookie Sheet Center | SLP SPED Autism
Product Description
These Build a Snow Globe Center Activities turn a hands-on building task into powerful practice for visual discrimination, following directions, color recognition, and replicating a model. Students build 16 different snow globes using three differentiated levels of building cards (picture-only, picture + word, or word-only). Set it up as a cookie sheet activity, magnet center, or cut-and-glue craft.

🎯 Skills Targeted:
Visual discrimination, replicating a model, following directions, color identification and color words, parts of a snow globe, attribute vocabulary (color, size, shape), same and different, sight word recognition (Level 3), fine motor skills, scissor skills, and open-ended creativity.
How to Use:
Print, laminate, and add magnets to the pieces for a cookie sheet or magnet center. Students choose a model card and replicate the snow globe on their background mat. To increase difficulty, give students a larger field of pieces to choose from or move them up to the next card level. To decrease difficulty, limit the field to just the needed pieces. Or set it up as a cut-and-glue craft for a take-home keepsake.
