Make a Glue Snowman

A glue snowman is easy to make, you just need a little patience. I know that’s not really the strong suit of most children, so when you plan this kid’s craft make sure it’s right before nap time or lunch. That way they’ll be preoccupied while their glue snowman is drying, or you could have them make another creation using this Edible Marshmallow Paint in the meantime! This is a fun project for a blustery winter day.

Glue Snowman

This cute glue craft can actually be made into a snowman ornament very easily if you want. You can thread a sewing needing and poke it through the top, or even use a child friendly sewing needle with yarn. A child friendly sewing needle may have trouble poking through the dried glue snowman’s head, so you may need to start the hole with a sewing needle or thumbtack.

Place waxed paper on a cookie sheet and pipe glue on in the shape of a snowman.

Fill all the holes and use a good amount of glue, but not too much that it begins to run together.

Add red pom-poms to the sides of the head for earmuffs. Add eyes and mouth with black pom-poms and the nose with orange. Use the green pom-poms for buttons.

Allow the snowman to dry overnight.

Carefully peel the snowman from the waxed paper. Do not be concerned if some of the paper sticks to the snowman.

Optional: For a sparkly effect, sprinkle some glitter onto the wet glue. To add arms, place some small twigs into the sides of the body while the glue is still wet.
