Do You Want To Build A Snowman?

Do you want to build a snowman?  I got an email from a reader, Sam, who made our adorable toilet paper snowmen with her son's first grade class.  I know most of you are sick of snow this winter, but if you want to make your own you can find the instructions here.  Thanks Sam!

Looking for a fun craft to do with the kids this winter?  This cute little guy is from a few years ago and he's always a favorite around here.

Here's an oldie but goodie that we still love.  You can see all the directions for our toilet paper roll snowman here.

Toilet Paper Roll Snowman

Snowman Supply List: 1 toilet paper roll, white paint, glue stick, marker, scrap of orange paper, pipe cleaner

Start by painting your toilet paper roll white.  We were low on white paint this day, so our snowman isn't as white as he should be.

Draw on a mouth and eyes.

Apply glue around the top of the snowman and put the baby sock on as a hat.  Use the glue stick to also apply the orange scrap of paper as a carrot nose.

Finally, tie the pipe cleaner scarf around the snowman's neck.

Book Suggestion: A Snowman Named Just Bob is a great book about friendship.  A snowman comes to life to teach a little boy some important lessons.  The illustrations are so warm and inviting.  It is a favorite to snuggle up with a warm blanket and cup of hot cocoa.
