Snowman Glyphs
Wintertime Glyphs
When creating Snowmen for the classroom bulletin board you can turn your art project into a math lesson as well. Start by collecting data. Simple questions such as: Are you a boy or a girl? Then create a chart that tells the children which attributes represent each answer to the survey such as: If you are a boy, Color the hat Green. If you are a girl, color the hat yellow.
These snowman glyphs show that a boy colored the first glyph and a girl colored the second glyph.

Creating Glyphs in the Classroom
Children love creating glyphs and they look fantastic when displayed on the bulletin board. Children are amazed at the differences they find in different families and delight in figuring out just what each color or shape signifies about a person or their family after the glyphs have been assembled and posted.
Glyphs combine Math and Art
The nose of the snowman may signify that you own a dog or a cat. The feathers on the turkey glyph may tell us what kinds of food you like to eat on Thanksgiving. The shape of the mouth on a Jack-o-lantern may tell us how old you are. What kind of glyph will you make?
Gabbing about Glyphs
Have you made glyphs?
Children like creating their own arts and crafts so when I discovered Glyphs, a whole new world had opened up. Art is now a part of math class. We collect data for math and then turn the data into art.
Have you ever made glyphs with your children? Now that you have read about all fun seasonal glyphs you could make with your children what kind of glyph do you think you will make next?
