When the temperature turns cold, this Foam Snowman Craft is an easy way to have fun with the kids!  Grab just a few supplies you probably already have on hand, and next thing you know you’ll have kids excited to make their own personal foam snowman!

Snowman crafts ideas like this one are so simple to make!  I love using foam sheets for crafts since they are flexible and super inexpensive.  They come in so many colors and make things like this cute snowman craft easy to manage.

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!

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
