Do You Want to Build a Snowman Footprint?

Every time I see a snowman, I have the song, "Do You Want Build a Snowman?" from the movie Frozen stuck in my head.  So how about we build one?

Materials needed:
  • Light blue construction paper
  • Orange construction paper 
  • White finger paint
  • Black pen
  • Sponge brush/paint brush
  • Wrapping paper
  • Glue

Prep:  Cut a small triangle out from the orange construction paper for the carrot nose.  Cut two triangles out from the wrapping paper for the scarf.  Trim one triangle a little bit shorter than the other one.



1.  Paint the foot white with the sponge brush or paint brush.   Stamp it on the light blue construction paper.  Let the footprint dry.



 2.  Draw two dots using the black pen as eyes and glue the nose onto the snowman.



3.  Draw the dots for the mouth.


4.  Glue the two wrapping paper triangles on as the scarf.




5.  Draw the arms, buttons, and you're done building a snowman.
