I have been wanting to do this craft for a while. Preston wasn't feeling well yesterday...so we are trying to take it easy. It has been snowing everyday since Monday & is supposed to continue for the rest of the week. It is a perfect day for a snowman craft.
Here is what you need:
Paper {we used blue cardstock}
White Glue
Shaving Cream
Paint brush
pencil {optional}
Something to decorate the snow man with {felt, paper, raisins, buttons, twigs, etc}
We started by drawing a snowman shape with a pencil. That way they had a guide.
I put some shaving cream on a paper plate & then I just eyeballed the glue. No measurement...SORRY! I gave them each a paintbrush {you could also just use your fingers}. They giggled the whole time that they made it.
Once they were finished "painting"...we got out some little felt scarves, a hat, some buttons, an orange paper carrot, paper "twig" arms, & some google eyes to decorate the snowman. The boys LOVED this part too. It was fun to see how they set up their snowmen.

I love it! We're experiencing some crazy storms here lately and have been stuck inside. This would be the perfect thing for Maddie and I to try tomorrow!
I love how their snowmen turned out. My kids would love it if it were snowing all week.
Great fun- and look how your eldest is concentrating with his tongue sticking out- my kiddos do that too!
so cute!
Does it dry???
Yes it dries. It took a day or two. By day one..it was dry, but still a bit squishy!
What fun! My boys would love this because of the mess factor! They turned out so cute! :)
Oh my gosh! These are absolutely adorable!!
This is such a cute idea! My kiddos would LOVE the fact that it dries and is "keep-able" (for awhile). Thanks!
