Hi friends! It’s been a while but it’s that time of the month again!!! The Kids Craft Stars and I are joining forces to bring you our MONTHLY kid craft challenge post.

Every month we have a challenge between us bloggers to in-cooperate a different craft medium or theme into a simple tutorial. This month’s challenge was a snowman theme and with winter in full swing in many places, it just seemed too perfect for this time of year!

So without further ado – today I present to you our Ice Cream Snowman – Kid Craft tutorial that is not only super simple and perfect for younger children – but it’s also REALLY inexpensive too!

Don’t let this creative craft idea MELT away – just check out the full tutorial below to see what I’m talking about! Plus there are also links to the other bloggers participating in this challenge, so be sure to click around! Happy crafting my snowy friends!

Supplies:

* Small Paper Plate
* Cotton Balls
* School Glue
* Canvas Pendant/Triangle {or use cardstock in place}
* Brown Paint
* Paint Brush
* Black/Orange Cardstock
* Scissors
* Stapler

Directions:

* First grab your canvas pendant and have your child paint it completely brown to represent the ice cream cone. Set aside to let it dry completely {you can also substitute brown cardstock for the ice cream cone}
* Now grab your paper plate, school glue and cotton balls. Have your child glue the cotton balls ALL over the paper plate to start creating the snowman’s face.
* Once your paper plate is done – cut out a hat, carrot nose and button eyes from the cardstock.
* Glue/staple those pieces in place.
* To finish off the Ice Cream Cone Snowman – staple the canvas piece to the paper plate. Add other embellishments you see fit and display proudly!
