Looking for a winter boredom buster for your kids or a cheap and easy holiday gift? Then, roll up your sleeves, and get busy assembling a snowman kit.
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: Varies
Here's How:
- Dig around in your closets (or head to a thrift store) for all those snowman essentials: a button nose, two eyes made out of coal (rocks will work), a carrot nose (play food, perhaps?) a scarf, a set of mittens, two sticks for his arms, a few more buttons for his middle and a couple more rocks for his mouth.
- Then, have some fun accessorizing. Add a wig, a crazy hat, some jewelry, a pair of shades – whatever you think will amuse the recipient.
- Finish by sticking all the pieces in a box, and creating a fancy label for your kit.
Tips:
- Make the buttons and rocks easier for little fingers to manipulate by gluing a small length of wooden dowel to each one
- Having trouble tracking down carrots? You may be able to find wooden carrots or cones at the craft store
What You Need
- A box
