We have made these before - they're very effective and kids loved doing them

I haven't no, made them at nursery last year & am not making them again till next week, they are so good for all ages as the older kids stick cotton balls all over but if the younger ones only manage a couple of cotton balls it still looks like a snowman because of the shape

i did thi one with one of the little boys i look after and he loved doing it and was very proud of it when he finished

some friend CM's a few years back said we should get together and write 101 things to make with a paper plate! we make reindeer and robin masks at christmas, they're so easy and kids have hours of fun playing with them afterwards. we had rudolph the green, blue and yellow nosed reindeer this week:laughing: :laughing: . reindeers are my favorite as they have the kids cut out handprints for antlers.

Lovely idea, thanks. :)

Thanks for a great idea. Another craft added to the planning list!

Hope you don't mind if i use this idea for the little ones :)

We did this as our Christmas display. Painted black paper with glitter, added our snowmen and stars and painted the bottom with a flour/glue/glitter concoction. I really loved this display, as did parents!

both look fab.on to do list this year.thanks for sharing :thumbsup:

I like the idea of making a display with the snowmen, thanks for sharing the picture.
