Cotton Rounds Snowman

Tonight was a low-key evening with my boys. (Well except for the fact that my Silhouette arrived!!! I can't wait to get started on all of the projects I've been drooling over!) Sadly all of our snow is now gone and I thought it would be fun to make some hot cocoa and cotton rounds snowmen.

What you'll need:
3 cotton rounds (the kind you use to take off make-up or nail polish)
piece of royal blue card stock
1 or 2 cotton balls
glue stick
white glue

To start put white glue on the back of the rounds. (I squeezed the glue for Ash but Gray did his own.)

Stack the rounds to make the snowman. (Isn't Ash's sweet!?!)

Gently pull to stretch out the cotton balls.


Smear some glue stick on the bottom of the card stock and put the cotton on the top of the glue for snow.

Now for the fun! We grabbed some pretty beads and crayons to decorate our snowmen. We had so much fun sipping on our cocoa decorating our snowmen. Gray was really into the details of his work and Ash just loved sorting through the beads. Here's our finished work....*I think it's time to read Snowmen at Night, a super cute book if you haven't read it yet check it out!!

  6. I love this idea and am sharing it with our kindergarten teachers. We are reading the book, "All You Need for a Snowman" by Alice Schertle and this would be a perfect project to do after our reading and writing projects.
