Snowman Movement Adapted Book | Brain Breaks Gross Motor | SPED Autism OT PreK

Need a quick way to get the wiggles out and bring everyone back to calm? Meet Snowy! In this snowman movement adapted book — "Snowy Can, Can You?" — students copy Snowy's poses to practice imitation, gross motor movement, and body awareness. It's the perfect movement break, brain break, or calming transition — and it doubles as an interactive adapted book with a matching piece for every pose. Your littlest learners (and your wiggliest ones!) will ask for it again and again.
