Foam Snowman Craft for Kids Tutorial

Materials Needed:

white, orange, and black craft foam sheets
red, green, white blended twine
craft foam glue or hot glue
cotton balls
hole puncher
pencil

Directions:
1. Trace a bowl onto two pieces of your white craft foam and cut out with scissors.

2. Hold your two pieces of foam together and use a whole puncher to punch out holes all the way around the edges.

3. Place a piece of twine through the bottom foam circle and through the top piece of foam and perform a whip stitch (diagonal stitches) almost all the way around the circle.

4. Fill your circle up with cotton balls and stitch the rest of the way up and tie into a knot.

5. A large triangle from your orange foam and glue to the center of your circle for a nose.
6. Then cut out 9 quarter sized circles from your black foam and glue two above the nose for eyes and 7 below the nose for a coal mouth.

I love the idea of using this simple snowman craft idea as a class project for a preschool group, or even a homeschool group meeting. It's such a fun way to welcome the winter months, and kids will enjoy using markers or pencils to make their snowman totally unique!
