Cotton Ball Snowman

DAY THREE:

Today we are making a Snowman! Roo's aunt's name is Shannon and she often uses "Shannon" and "Snowman" interchangeably. It's cute. But that's beside the point. Back to the craft!

WHAT YOU NEED:
     - 15-20 cotton balls
     - 1 white paper plate
     - tacky glue
     - black and orange construction paper

Before beginning, cut 2 circles for eyes and a big top hat from the black construction paper and a triangle "carrot" nose from the orange. Drizzle the glue on the paper plate as if you were icing a cinnamon roll. Ok, I'm hungry, sorry.

Let your toddler place the cotton balls covering the entire plate. If you want to be cute, you can add a little "Boop!" with each ball. When your child the plate is covered, add glue to the top to indicate where the eyes, nose, and hat should go. Allow your toddler to place the paper where it should go. Voila! Snowman.







VERDICT: Totally easy, cute activity. Even younger toddlers will be able to place the cotton balls with ease. Roo took great pride when she saw the finished product and talks to him frequently. We hung him on the tree so she can visit him whenever she wants!
