We had a nice morning at home playing with trains and reading books. Connor had lots of energy to burn and I was enjoying staying warm inside so we brought out the craft box. I have TONS of stuff left from teaching that has been perfect to do fun activities with Connor. I quickly scrambled to find something we could make and came across this snowman craft at DLTK kids. It turned out to be a pretty fun project minus the fact that we had a few 2 year old melt downs thrown in. I learned the hard way to always keep the rest of the craft box hidden while doing projects. Permanent fabric paint all of a sudden looks like a lot more fun than cotton balls and it is really sad when the answer is no.
Popsicle sticks have been the perfect way to let Connor glue things down. Although we somehow always seem to have glue everywhere when we finish!
Doesn't he look thrilled to be making a snowman? HA! By the look on that face you would think I was punishing him. :) I promise he had a lot more fun that this picture makes it seem.
The finished product!
Except for gluing on the face, Connor was able to do most of it by himself. Drawing the circles for him to fill in with cotton balls definitely made it easier. We found some foam snowflakes to finish it off. I love that part of my "job" is to stay home and do fun things like this with my boys!
