Snowman that Doesn’t Melt: It’s Felt
Who wants to build a snowman inside where it’s warm?
I’m curious about how many little kids are singing, “Do you Want to Build a Snowman” from Disney’s movie Fozen. I know, our family sings that song over and over whether or not I wear the snowman suit made of felt that won’t melt.
With temperatures dropping and snow on the mountain tops its time to start thinking about gathering fake snow for crafts big and small; singing some songs about snow and playing some bone chilling games with out even goin gout side in the freezing cold and snow.
No Non-cents Nanna turns her self into a snowman with round buttons and a hat.
- My adult size felt snowman apron is stuffed with polyester fill.
- My buttons are big round black felt cirlces. I used puffy paint to made fake button holes and thread.
- I already had the hat, scarf kit top and sun glasses.
What craft medium makes good snow?
- cotton balls
- styrofoam peanuts
- white out
- white pearl nail polish
- white felt
- Epsome salts
- pony beads in white light sparkle blue
- glitter
- cheese clothe with glitter or epsome salt sprinkels
- white tulle
- powdered donuts
- marshmellows
- white play dough
- white yarn and glue
- white socks
- white spools
- salt and glue
- white gloves or mittens.
- white pipe cleaners
- white buttons
- shredded coconut
Here is a snow man craft that you can make yourself:
- Cut 3 sizes of white felt circles
- add google eyes (glue on or allow chidl to keep mkaing theri snow man over adn over.)
- use scrapes of oragne for the carrot nose and black felt for the hat and long piece for a scarf
- set out odds and ends of craft supplies like buttons or pom poms
- store in a small zipper lock bag.

Note from No Non-cents Nanna:
As I look around for gifts that may interest my youngest grandchildren I see too many toys that do EVERYTHING! This concerns me because growing children need to use their imganiations to explore even if the results are not perfect in the adult mind.
With sensory play items, like my felt manipulatives, pre-school children can try placing pieces any way they wish; there are no wrong ways and no right ways. Confidence is built along with developing find motor skills.
