Crayola White Model Magic Clay
Orange/Black Puffy Paint

Straw
String or Ribbon
Scissors

Directions:

First things first – take about an inch of white clay in between your hands and roll it into a ball.
Splat” it with your fingers to create the snowman puddle. It doesn’t need to be perfect either. Thickness depends on you.
Repeat for each snowman ornament you want to make today.
Now lay your flattened pieces on a clean cookie sheet.
One by one, take your orange & black puffy paint and paint on “snowman” embellishments like a hat, nose, dots for the mouth etc. on the clay pieces. You can also draw on other embellishments you see fit.
Once done, and before you set them aside to dry, be sure to use the straw to make a “hole” on the top of the clay piece.
Now set aside your cookie sheet covered in melted snowmen, in an undisturbed area to allow the clay to air dry for a few days. If need be – flip the snowman pieces over once a day, so it dries evenly on each side.
When they are completely dry – it’s time for the string! Simply cut off a piece of string, thread it through the hole and tie off.
Then display proudly for ALL to see!!!
