DLTK's Holiday Crafts for Kids
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 section)
  • 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
