2. Cotton Ball Snowmen

Snowmen are an iconic winter symbol, and building a snowman indoors with cotton balls is a fun alternative when outdoor snow is scarce.

Materials Needed:

  • Cotton balls
  • Glue
  • Construction paper
  • Markers or crayons
  • Small buttons or beads (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Draw a snowman outline on construction paper.
  2. Kids can glue cotton balls over the outline to fill in the snowman.
  3. Use markers, buttons, or beads to add eyes, a carrot nose, and buttons.
  4. Add a paper hat or scarf for extra personality.

Tips for Success:
For added texture, mix in cotton batting or tissue paper. Encourage kids to layer cotton balls for a three-dimensional effect.

This craft not only lets kids explore textures but also allows them to practice pattern-making and fine motor skills.
