Snowman Bottle Craft

Contributed by a viewer.  Thanks Charlene!

"Here are some pictures of snowmen that I created for our preschoolers at Sunday School to make this year.  This is so easy that even three year olds could do it without trouble."
 

Materials:

• creamer bottles (You know, the flavorful ones found in the refrigerator Activities)
• googly eyes
• black beads for mouth
• colored toothpick for nose - cut in about 1 " length
• glittery pompoms for top of hat
• black pompoms for front of snowman
• yarn or something to make a "scarf"
• Small twigs for arms/hands - about 5 inches in length and in a Y form
• Tacky glue works best for this project.

Instructions:

• Remove the plastic wrapper from the creamer bottle and put about a cup of sand in the bottle.
• Glue on the googly eyes.
• Glue on black beads for the mouth.
• Poke holes for nose and arms with ice pick (it is much easier to insert them).
• Insert the colored toothpick for nose.
• Glue on glittery pompoms for top of hat.
• Glue on black pompoms for the front of the snowman.
• For the scarf, wrap yarn around a piece of cardboard - about three times. Use another piece of yarn to tie the ends together. Then wrap it around the neck of the snowman and tie it.
• Insert small twigs for arms/hands.
