Hard to believe that the kids will be on winter break soon, which means there will be holiday parties at school in just a few days! At our school, the kids love bringing little treats or gifts for their friends in their classrooms. Maybe this is a blessing for our kids because they go to a very small school. I decided that this year, since Jude only has a class of 5, we would be making something a little more complex for those friends.
I decided it would be a fun little craft and project to have the kiddos make their own play dough snowmen. So, I created a little treat bag full of items to have the kids make their own snowmen. I love the way this turned out and I cannot wait to see how they enjoy it.
Make Your Own Snowman – Treat Bag
I started thinking about how this project could come all together and I found some great items from Amazon that were easily delivered right to my door.
This is what our test snowman turned out like. The buttons might be a bit big but I think it was a fun project to do with my kids.
