Snowman in 3D

Materials Needed:

-Several colours of construction paper

-Cotton Balls

-Glue

-Scissors

-Pencil

Instructions:

1. On a full sheet of dark coloured construction paper, lightly draw three circles in the shape of a snowman.

2. Place lots of small dots of glue inside the circles. You don't need much glue to make the cotton balls stick.

3. Start sticking the cotton balls on until you have filled up the circles and you have what

looks like a fluffy white snowman on your paper.

4. Now all your snowman needs is a top hat, a face with a carrot nose,

buttons and arms! We suggest that you draw each item with your pencil

before cutting them out.

5. Once again, you need only a very small amount of glue to make these items stick.

For the tree branch arms, we suggest that you stick the "hands" to the actual piece of construction paper and then to the body of your snowman. They will stick better that way.

You can be as creative as you like with this snowman - he doesn't have to have a top hat - why not give him a toque or even a baseball hat? And as for his arms, maybe he needs some mittens on his hands! And when you are finished, you might even want to draw a scene around him on the construction paper. All you need is a set of markers to add a raging snowstorm or a house in the background. Hey, you could even draw yourself standing next to your snowman - now there's an idea!

Happy Holidays!
