Materials

  • Paper egg carton
  • Black buttons
  • Small piece of fabric
  • Paint
  • Glue
  • Pom Poms
  • Cardboard
  • Googly eyes
  • Orange foam sheet or cardstock
  • Bakers twine optional

Instructions

  • Use the scissors to cut out a three well section from the egg carton. Paint this section of the egg carton white and let dry completely.
  • Cut out a small strip of fabric of your choice. Ours measured 1.5"x 13". Wrap it in between the first and second wells and tie to make it look like a scarf.
  • Glue the two small, black buttons on the middle well.
  • Cut out a triangle carrot nose from the orange foam sheet. Glue it to the middle of the top well, just above the smile.
  • Position the googly eyes on the top well and glue in place.
  • Use markers or paint to draw the coal mouth and rosy cheeks.
  • Make the snowman's ear muffs by cutting a small strip of pipe cleaner and bending it to form a half-circle. Attach this to the top well with glue or a glue dot (we prefer the glue dot) so it goes from side to side by where the snowman's ears would be.
  • Glue a small pom pom on top of the pipe cleaner, on either side of the snowman's head with liquid glue or a glue dot.
  • Optional: If you want to make this snowman craft into an ornament, use the baker's twine to make a loop and glue it to the back of the snowman's head.
