Craft Supplies:

The best part about this craft? It uses easy-to-find materials—most of which you probably already have at home.

  • Blue Cardstock Paper
  • Orange Cardstock Paper
  • Black Cardstock Paper
  • Shaving Cream
  • School Glue
  • Small Mixing Bowl
  • Foam Paint Brush
  • Pipe Cleaners
  • Small Pom Poms

Pro Tip: If you’re working with a large group of kids, prepare a batch of puffy paint in advance to minimize waiting time. Separate the mixture into small cups for each child.

Directions:

  • First things first – making the puffy paint. Combine equal parts of white glue and shaving cream in a bowl. Stir gently until you achieve a fluffy, whipped texture. The mixture should hold its shape but still spread easily.
  • Once you have the consistency and color you like, have children “paint” their melted snow all over the blue paper.
  • After children are done with the puffy paint step, have them add their pipe cleaners arm and pom pom buttons on top of the wet mixture.
  • At this point in time you should also cut out the remaining embellishments {hat, eyes and nose} and stick those on top of the wet paint as well.
  • When done, set aside the melted snowman masterpieces to let them dry completely.
  • Once your artwork is dry, display it proudly on the fridge, in a frame, or as seasonal décor. This melted snowman is a fun reminder of winter’s charm and creativity.
