Here's a fluffy snowman to make a homemade Christmas card or festive window decoration.
Snowman Christmas card
: 15 minutes
Age: Under 5's, 5-10's
Level: Easy,
Materials
Small dot stickers (or cut and stick from paper)
Scraps of colourful paper including orange
Plain coloured card (to make Christmas card) or piece of clear sticky book covering (to make window decoration)
Trim one of the cotton wool pads into a smaller circle to make the snowman's head.
Stick on small black stickers for eyes and buttons. You could also cut these out of paper and glue on.
Cut out a hat, scarf and carrot nose shape from scraps of colourful paper.
Hat, scarf and nose shapes
Glue the cotton wool pads into a piece of card, with the smaller circle on top for the head.
Stick on the hat, nose and scarf with glue. If you're using a glue stick, make sure you apply the glue onto the paper components rather than directly onto the cotton wool pad.
Trim round cardboard to get your finished snowman.
To make a Christmas card, stick the snowman onto a blank card.

To make a window decoration, stick a piece of sticky back book covering onto the snowman (sticky side onto the front of the snowman). Trim round the edge, leaving a sticky border of about a centimetre. The snowman will then stick to the window by pressing the sticky border to the glass.
