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.

Handprint and Footprint Lobster

You will need:

• White construction paper
• Red ink pad (non toxic)
• Red marker
• Black marker
• Baby wipes
• 2 Eye stickers

1.  Press the child's foot onto the red ink pad then place child's foot onto the white construction paper.  Clean the foot with the baby wipe.  Next press the left hand onto the ink pad then onto the left side of the heel imprint on the construction paper.  Clean the left hand with the baby wipe.  Repeat with the right hand but press the hand imprint on the right side of the heel imprint on the construction paper. Wipe off all the ink from the right hand with a baby wipe.

2. Use the red marker to draw in the details for the arms, legs, and eye-stalks.  Stick the eyes over the eye-stalks then draw in a mouth.

This project would be cute in a frame or in an ocean themed bedroom/bathroom.
