The Directions:
- First you will want to glue THREE cotton pads, in a row, on ONE jumbo craft stick. Remember to leave some wood stick exposed so kids can hold their puppets with ease.
- Repeat for each snowman puppet you want to make today.
- Once done, set aside to let them dry completely.
- Next grab your craft felt and scissors.
- Go ahead and cut out embellishments for your snowmen. We did some simple black hats, colorful scarves and of course – small black squares for eyes and a triangular orange nose.
- Again, repeat for each snowman puppet you are making.
- Now for the final and most fun step of all – assembling your Snowman Puppets! Simply glue all your felt pieces to the front of the cotton pads, along with pom pom “buttons” along the body.
- Add other embellishments {maybe some glitter, feathers or even rhinestones} you see fit before displaying/playing with proudly.
