I know it's almost February but it is soooo cold outside. Here in North Georgia, the weather is as unpredictable as it gets. One day, we're breaking out our warmest winter clothes and the next day, we're pulling out our shorts and t-shirts. I remember one year way back, we had an ice storm. The next day, my mother and I were laying out in the sun in swimsuits while we watched the ice melt off the house. It was late March. (Please don't lay in the sun. My skin cancer scar is now a daily reminder to be smarter.)
Anyway, the brutal cold reminds me of some of our Polar Bear books. Let's take a quick look at those because I know your kids will love them. Then, scroll on down and find several great polar bear activities to enrich the reading experience for your kids.
