Melted Snowman
Need a snowy day activity for those days off school? Pull out some of these everyday household items to create a fun 3D melted snowman. Get as creative as you want with this!
Materials needed:
- Buttons
- Two googly eyes
- Two twigs
- Paper cutouts of nose, mouth and hat
- Material to use for a scarf (ribbon, paper, fabric)
- Shaving cream
- School glue
- Bowl
- Spoon
- Paper for background of picture
Step one: Mix together in a bowl a 1:1 ratio of school glue and shaving cream—no exact measurement.
Step two: Pour/scoop onto your paper. To help your snowman stand out in contrast, use a colored piece of paper instead of white.
Step three: Have fun adding the hat, eyes, nose, mouth, scarf, arms and buttons to your melted snowman.
Step four: Lay it flat to dry.
Step five: Hang and proudly display your melted snowman creation!
