Polar Bear Winter Scene
February 5th, 2010
I did a little mini theme about polar bears with Hailey. One of the projects we did was a winter scene.

Here’s what you’ll need: blue paper, polar bear, tissue paper, white paint, glue, something to paint with, glitter.

Paint your paper to look like snow.

Sprinkle on some glitter.

Add some crumpled up tissue paper.

Paint the polar bear white.

Glue on the polar bear.

Soda Bottle Snowman
January 22nd, 2010
I saw a really cute snowman made out of a soda bottle in a magazine so we decided to give it a try.

First you’ll need- an empty soda bottle, white paint (*we used Tempra paint, and I do NOT recommend using it for this kind of project) and something to paint with.

First cover the soda bottle with white paint.
While the paint dries, gather the rest of your supplies:

Sticks, tissues, glue, felt for a scarf, pink paint, wiggle eyes, sock, orange paper and a pom pom.

Stuff some tissues into the sock and glue the pom pom on to the top of the sock- this will be the hat.
Dot some pink paint on for cheeks, add eyes, nose, mouth, scarf and sticks.

The finished snowman.
*You should probably use acrylic paint if you do this. We used Tempra paint and the paint started flaking off of the bottle as it dried. It was actually difficult to finish the project because when Hailey tried to add things to the snowman the paint would fall right off. So, the idea is really cute- just use a different kind of paint.

Frosty the Snowman

Here is a really simple, really cute and really fun snowman craft that we made last year. It turned out so cute that I just had to share it again.

You’ll need: 3 white circles- small, medium and large, construction paper to glue your snowman on, glue and some items to decorate your snowman.

Glue your circles onto your paper.

Add your decorations to your snowman.

The finished snowman.
