No Snow Snowman

Level of Difficulty: Intermediate - Parental supervision required for specific tasks
Estimated Completion Time: 30-90 minutes
Theme: Winter, Holiday

Maybe it doesn’t snow where you live or there is no snow yet, but as the days grow colder you start to dream of sledding and Santa and making SNOWMEN. While you wait for the real thing you can make this cheery snowman from stuff you have around the house. You can use our suggestions on how to decorate your snowman or use your imagination to create your own crazy snow creatures. When you make a snowman outside you have to look around the yard to find the little things that help him come to life – do the same thing for your ‘no-snow-snowman’, only use things from the kitchen, the recycling bin and/or the craft room.

When you are done, we'd love to see your artwork. Please go to our gallery and upload your finished
masterpiece! We can't wait to see it! If you like to Blog, send us a comment and tell us about your
experience!
