Of course, if kids are sick you can't go out. However, snowmen can be made out of other materials, and not just the snow.
1. Snowmen made of plastic bottles
All you need are markers (preferably waterproof), some cute ribbons and white empty plastic bottles,
Just look at them, aren't they stylish?
2. A snowman made of a glass jar
Paste cotton pads on a glass jar and add paper eyes, nose and mouth. In less than 20 minutes you'll have a nice holder for different school supplies.
3. A cotton pads snowman
The same pads from the previous idea, can be pasted to the carton and become a beautiful, hand-made greeting card. We used crayons for drawing a hat, a broom and the snowman's face.
4. A snowman made of plastic cups
Arrange the cups in the desired shape, paste them together (we used a hot glue gun) and painted his hat and face with temperas.
5. A cherry on the top - a snowman made of real snow
Hopefully the kids got better by now, so go out and do the real one!
Be careful with its "styling."

How about joining a linky party?
Such cute ideas! I live up in Michigan and we are supposed to have lots of snow this time of year, but we've only had an inch or two all season. Sounds like you are getting all our snow!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it!
ReplyDeleteBy now, we have 70 centimetres of snow, and it's still snowing! Record amount in the past 150 years. However, a weather forecast for the next week says it will suddenly get warmer, so all this can melt fast. Crazy weather! The climate is definetly changing....
Lovely ideas! The real snowman is so cool :)

Irena, those snowmen out of the plastic bottles are simply adorable. Such a cute idea. Thanks for coming over and strutting your stuff!
ReplyDeleteIt is my pleasure as well, you're such an excellent host!
DeleteHooray for ideas that I can enjoy with my grandson! We have snow here too, and temps as low as 0 degrees. With my fibro & arthritis, I can't be out in the weather without experiencing massive amounts of pain, so these projects will give me a way to share Winter with Anthony. Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteYes, winter can be quite challenging when it comes to finding kids' fun ideas. I'm glad my post was helpful to you! Thanks for stopping by!
