Snowman Craft with Glue Paint

We made a very cute snowman craft with glue paint. I am so glad that we took the time for it because it was sooo much fun! Since these low temperatures are not bringing us any snow, we might as well make our own snowmen. We have alway painted them with regular school paint. But, this time we made our own glue paint. Have you heard of such a thing? The idea is to make your own paint that will turn out white and puffy. It’s so easy and fun!

Materials:

You need to have some materials ready before you even start the project. Some will be used, others might not be used. Here’s what we have…
*shaving cream
*glue
*paintbrush
*glitter
*construction paper
*pre-cut black hats
*pre-cut black eyes
*pre-cute orange nose
*ribbon for scarf
*beads
*pom-poms
*crayons
*cotton swabs
*crayon
*ribbon

Mixture for Glue Paint:

We used 1/2 cup of shaving cream and just poured quite a bit of glue on top of it. Then, we mixed it. This part was fun!

Draw it!

Use a white crayon to draw an outline of a snowman. This will help the little ones see where they need to paint to create a snowman.

Paint it!

Now, the fun begins again. Get that paintbrush out and start painting inside the snowman shape. We found that it was easier to pour spoonfuls of glue to spread it easier. We had some cotton swabs ready to add snow dots, but he paintbrush worked just fine.

Decorate it!

After all the painting parts have been done, you will be ready to decorate it. The painting will start looking more and more like a snowman with each decoration added.

First, add some glitter for a touch of winter shimmer. It truly makes the snowman look magical 🙂
