Step-by-Step Instructions to Make a Snowman Puppet:
- First things first – pull out THREE cotton balls and one craft stick per snowman puppet.
- Glue the THREE balls to one end of the stick, in a straight line. Be sure to “squish” the cotton balls down so they really stick.
- Once the snowman’s body has taken shape now it’s time for the embellishments. Cut out a hat and carrot nose from the cardstock paper. Glue those in place.
- Finally, glue down three jewels for the “buttons.” on the snowman.
- Add some personality to your snowman puppet with a scarf accessory. Simply cut a long piece of craft ribbon and tie it around his neck.
- Add any other embellishments you see fit.
- Allow it all to dry completely before you play with them proudly!
