Make it together

  1. Arrange three big cotton pads vertically on the blue paper to make a snowman.
  2. Glue the pads in place and press gently.
  3. Cut a colorful paper scarf and hat with grown-up help, then glue them on.
  4. Draw eyes, buttons and falling snowflakes around your snowman.

Learn while you create

Ask your child which snowman circle is biggest, smallest and in the middle.

Safety note: Cotton pads and glue are for supervised crafts; keep away from younger children who mouth objects.
