Snowman Craft

These cute picture frames are a fun craft and a great gift from a child.  I gave my students a choice of what kind of snowman they would like to make and they came up with a melted snowman, a three snowball snowman, a two snowball snowman, and a snowman looking up.



Supplies were: 
  • white construction paper for the snowman
  • buttons for the eyes, nose and buttons
  • orange foam for the nose
  • brown marker for the stick arms
  • black construction paper for the top hat
  • puff balls and pipe cleaners for the ear muffs
  • large puffballs for the melted snowman's head
  • colored felt for the scarf
  • black marker for the mouth
  • empty picture frame
  • paint
  • paint brushes
  • colored paper for the background
  • foam snowflakes
  • Elmer's glue
I had my students paint the frame the first day and let it dry overnight.  Then, I put samples of each snowman on the board and put all of the supplies out on a table.  They came to the table as they needed a supply.  

I again let it dry overnight to let the glue dry before they wrote on the frame with marker.

The total time for each frame was less than an hour, minus drying times. 

They gave the frame to their parents as a Christmas or Hanukkah gift. :)  So cute!
