Toilet Paper Snowman

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.

Toilet Paper Roll Snowflake Ornament

This ornament is similar to the one I posted a few days ago but with a different twist.

Supply List: white spray paint, 1 toilet paper roll, glitter glue, scissors, stapler, pipe cleaner

Squish your toilet paper roll in half and cut small strips with your scissors.

Use your stapler to connect the strips into a flower shape.  Take your flower shape outside and spray paint it white.  Allow plenty of time for it to dry.

Add some sparkly glitter glue.

Use your pipe cleaner to hang that beauty up on the tree.  It's hard to see how much it sparkles in this picture, but my kids love the glitter glue so it is nice an twinkly.

Book Suggestion: We are crazy about the Old Lady books around here.  There Was a Cold Lady Who Swallowed Some Snow! is another awesome addition to our collection.  Even if you live where it doesn't snow (ahem, Florida) kids can still appreciate this funny, rhyming story.

Toilet Paper Roll Snowman

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.
