Directions:

- Lay down paper towels or newspapers to protect your table. Gather all your supplies and position them within easy reach.
- Now grab your pre-folded cardstock card, craft paint and small paper plate.
- Squirt a small amount of white craft paint on the small paper plate.
- Have children dip one half of the potato into the white paint {smear it around} then stamp it on the front of the card.
- To finish off the Potato Stamped Snowman Card, cut out a hat, nose and scarf from your remaining cardstock paper sheets.
- Use the glue stick to adhere those in place on the stamped design.
- If desired, use the Sharpie marker to write a message such as “warm wishes” on the front of your card.
- Then set it all aside to let it dry completely, before displaying and/or giving away proudly!
