Tips for grown-ups

  • Start with a finger. Little ones can trace the path with a finger first, then try it with a crayon.
  • Count out loud together and point to each snowflake as you go.
  • Talk about the story: why was Howard so happy to get back to his bed?
  • Print at 100% (“actual size”) on regular letter paper.
Snowflake answer (for grown-ups) There are 8 snowflakes in the counting box.

Meet Howard

This printable comes from Howard’s Sore Toe, a picture book in verse for ages 1–7 by Diane Paul, illustrated by Romi Caron. One cold, windy day, a curious teddy bear climbs down the stairs to see what’s outside, and finds a bigger adventure than he bargained for.
