A very large snowman for your kitchen!
This is so easy to do!
I made ours an interactive snowman.
I cut out the following pieces from craft foam sheets.
- 2 large black circles [eyes]
- 3 medium black circles [buttons]
- 5 small black circles [mouth]
- 1 orange triangle [nose]
If you don’t have the craft foam sheets, construction or scrapbook paper would work for this too! That’s what I saw done at “Crafting” my Talents.
My foam is self-adhesive. Potentially, I could have just stuck them onto the fridge like that and would have been even easier.
Instead, I cut out a little circle in the middle of the sticky paper and stuck on a craft magnet [Thanks Craftprojectideas.com for them!]. It would be even easier with self-adhesive craft magnets!
A snowman needs a scarf too, right?
Take some of that leftover wrapping paper, the scraps work well, or just a 3 inch strip off the end of a roll does the trick too.
Simply cut the wrapping paper in long strips to form the scarf. I taped the scarf in place.
Ta-da, you’ve made yourself a snowman!
Now let the kids have fun making silly faces with the pieces!
Counting pieces adds a little learning to the activity!
Henry counted the number of mouth pieces and buttons on the snowman!
Bonus: It made me clean off my fridge! I think this will have to be done every year just for that sole reason!

I'm a baker's wife and a stay at home mom. Hands on : as we grow is all about the activities that I do at home with the kids [Henry, 4, and George, 1 1/2]. We're full of energy and excitement and we sneak in learning opportunities wherever we can. But most importantly, we like to have fun with all of it. [Read

This is awesome! I love that you made magnets so your kids can play with him. My kids would think this is awesome. Now how to change my black fridge to white??

This is cute! I took the cheater's way out and bought magnetic fridge sets at Dollar Tree. They loved mixing up Santa's and the Snowman's pieces, and the reindeer turned into a dog!
This is adorable! It would be a great frugal gift to give a neighbor family as well
