MATERIALS:
• Black or dark blue card stock paper
• Packing tape
• Scissors and a hole punch
• silver glitter
• A variety of white button and beads -
Collect buttons and beads in a bowl. Get buttons
of various shapes, sizes and shades. Dollar stores
and craft stores usually carry fun button packs
for scrapbooking and other crafts. You will
need white for the snow and red (or any other
preferred color) for the hat.
DIRECTIONS:
1. In the center of the sheet cut out the shape
of a snowman. You can sketch the design
right there or download and transfer our
pattern onto paper. Make holes with a hole
punch to represent snowflakes.
2. Apply strips of tape to the back of the paper
so that their sticky surface is exposed in
the cutouts.
3. Invite your child to fill the cutouts with
buttons and beads. They will adhere to the
tape and make a collage.
4. After the collage is done, sprinkle it with
glitter to fill the gaps between the buttons.
5. The more glitter...the better!
6. Write a Message at the Bottom
TIP: If the little artist can write, invite him to
write the message at the bottom or at the back
of the collage. Alternatively, let him dictate
and choose who he wants to give the finished
picture to.
