Snowglobe Picture

These were some pictures we made today with the third graders.  The kids used markers and construction paper crayons to draw their snow scene on the globe.  Then they added white paint dots for snow.  Some glued on white fluff as well.

More Snowmen!

I had another craft session of making snowmen after school yesterday.  Here are the ones we made.  You can see a full tutorial here.

Sock Snowmen

I had my first after school holiday crafts class yesterday.  I had 14 kids with me making snowmen.  You can see the tutorial here.  Here are our finished snowmen!

Sock Snowman

Here is an easy, no-sew snowman that my after school art class is going to make.  I'm so excited to try it with the kids and of course I will post pictures to show you their results.

1.  Gather supplies:  rubberband, fabric scissors, white tube sock, colorful infant sock, stuffing, rice, buttons, felt and ribbon.

2.   Cut off the top of the tube sock.  Experiment to see what works best for you. 

3.  Drop a large handful of dry rice down the sock.  This will help weight the snowman and allow it to stand up.

4.  Next, stuff it full of stuffing.

5.  Tie a rubber band around the neck.  Tie a rubber band to top off the head.

6.  Next, take a colorful infant sock and stick it on the top for a stocking hat. 

7.  Use Elmer's glue or hotglue to glue on buttons, felt facial features and so forth.

8.  Tie a colorful ribbon around the neck for a scarf.  This will cover up the ugly rubberband as well.

9.  Add any other embellishments you wish!  Ta Da!!!  Snowman!
