3D Snow Person
We wanted to re-use these juice bottles and the kids thought that they would make the perfect snowman or snow woman. We show you a basic idea that you can then personalize and “make your own”! Who doesn’t love a recycled craft!?
you'll need Materials
- Pom juice bottles
- Paper towel
- Glue
- Water
- Decorating items (paper, felt, buttons, model magic- use whatever you have on hand!)
- Scissors
- Glue gun/ glue
- Old paintbrush
- Nose/ Top Hat Template: snowperson shapes
We always find these items useful too:
Directions
- Cut your paper towel into strips.
- Paint glue onto your pom bottle with an old paint brush, then add a strip and cover it in a thin layer of glue, similar to papier mache.
- While your snow person is wet, decorate it! We formed a carrot nose using model magic over top of cardstock, a felt hat, some buttons and coal made out of model magic! (Here’s our template if you want to use these ideas too: snowperson shapes ) This really is a chance to use up all the odds and ends that you have! We’d love to see your snow people- please tag us on Instagram- we sure to enjoy sharing reader creations in our stories! Tip: (For a baby snow person, trim the nose template down. Prop your nose up with a yogurt container to hold it in place or glue it on with a glue gun once your snow person is dry)
- Allow to dry overnight. (Depending on the humidity where you live, this may need to be a longer process).
Purpose
- Re-using different materials for creating and play.
Safety Notes
- We suggest that you use a tray and a smock to protect your clothing and surfaces.
- Use scissors and a glue gun with care and direct, adult supervision.
- Cord, yarn etc. can be a strangulation hazard, therefore be sure to use with direct supervision and for its intended purpose.
- Beads can be a choking hazard, therefore be sure to keep them out of the reach of children ages 0-3 years of age or those that tend to put things into their mouths.
