Directions:

  • First things first – paint a snowman face on your mini paper cup. I used an orange & black sharpie for that.
  • Next, using scissors, punch two holes in the center of your paper plate.
  • Weave your pipe cleaner through the holes. This will be the snowman’s arms sticking out of the ground.
  • Then glue on the paper cup to the center of the plate.
  • Now smear a TON of glue all around the front of the paper plate.
  • Hand over to your child and have them stick cotton balls on top of the wet glue. If they need to – they can add more glue.
  • Once completely covered – set aside to let dry.

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
