Wintertime brings some beautiful sights. From shimmering icicles to smooth frozen ponds, the snow and ice can create a lovely view. While some animals are out enjoying the winter weather, others hide away until the warmer spring days. Today’s book follows a young hedgehog who wants to enjoy all the beauty of winter like the other animals. This children’s book on winter weather gave us the perfect activity to create some winter wonderland crafts.
