This easy kids craft is perfect for the winter season! Your child can make a snowman puppet out of craft foam and have some fun pretend play.
Craft Supplies:
- Wavy Wood Craft Sticks
- White Craft Paint
- Foam Paint Brush
- Small Paper Plate
- Scissors
- White Foam Sheet
- Black Foam Sheet
- Colored Cardstock Paper
- Sharpie Markers
- Glue Gun or Tacky Glue
- Brown Raffia Ribbon
Directions:
- First things first – squirt some white craft paint on your paper plate.
- Use the foam paint brush to paint ONE side of your wavy craft stick completely white.
- When done painting, set it aside to allow it to dry completely.
- Next up – grab your sheets of craft foam and colored cardstock, along with your scissors.
- Start by cutting out a small circle for the head of the snowman from the white craft foam.
- Follow that up with his hat from the black.
- Then cut out his scarf and a small hat embellishment from the remaining colored cardstock.
- Now grab the black and orange Sharpie markers.
- Use the markers to draw on a snowman face on the white craft foam pieces you just cut out. I did a triangular orange nose and some dotted black eyes & mouth.
- At this point in time you can also draw on some buttons on the painted wavy craft stick.
- Once done, you are ready to assemble your snowman puppets! Get the glue gun hot and ready & grab all your pieces.
- Hot glue the circular face on one end of the painted wavy craft stick.
- Now glue your black hat on top of that and then the scarf piece under that.
- To finish off the your Craft Foam Snowman Puppet, cut a long piece of brown raffia ribbon and wrap/tie it around the center of the puppet. This will give the look of his arms.
- Add anything else you might like {maybe some stickers or custom embellishments!}
- Then play and/or display proudly for all to see!
