A DexteDoodle Digital Story & Activity Set · For Pre-Writers

If You Play Tag in the Snow

Dexte wants a game of tag in the snow. First he has to find out what animals lives in the snow. A story your child reads, colors, cuts and glues, and explores through.

I share the stories I have written and invite your child to trace, color, and draw along. — Kasandra

Read the illustrated story first. Then let them color and draw themselves into the story at the end of the book.

Every coloring page keeps its story line, so they can read it again while they color.

A painted page of If You Play Tag in the Snow beside the same page as a coloring page: the snowshoe hare and the running snowman.

A look through the whole set

The story, the coloring pages, the mazes and the cut and glue scenes, page by page.

Good to know

Ages

Built for 3 to 5. The Checklist shows you where your child is, and the pages meet them there.

What you need at home

A printer, crayons, child-safe scissors and a glue stick. The cut-and-glue pages keep the piece and its picture on the same sheet.

Paper or screen?

Paper first. The tablet mazes and coloring pages are for the car and the waiting room — no wifi needed once you have them.

Is this the Christmas set?

No. Same Dexte, a different story. This one is all snow and animals, with nothing Christmas in it, so it is ready any time there is snow in the story and none in the yard.
