Snow is made from tiny snowflakes. A snowflake forms when bits of ice stick together. Snowflakes fall from the sky. They pile up on the ground.

Snow falls in cold places. A lot of places are snowy in the winter. Other places are so cold, they have snow all year. Brr!

Have you ever made a snowball? You have to pack the snow. That makes it into a hard shape. You can even make a big snowman! 

Sand is made of tiny pieces of rock and shell. These small pieces are called grains. There are billions of grains of sand in a sandbox!

You can find sand at some playgrounds. You can play with sand at the beach. Some deserts have hills of sand.

Have you ever made a sandcastle? You can sculpt things out of sand. Add water first! That is what makes the grains of sand stick together.
