Do you want to make a snowman?  How about sock snowman?

This snowman is one that I have made with hundreds of students throughout my years of teaching.  It is an easy parent-child craft project for the holidays.  This craft project encourages creativity of both parents and children, yet is made with some simple materials and takes just a few minutes.  Create a treasured keepsake that you will have for years to come!  

Supplies

• a clean white sock (I like these Dickies crew socks because they are entirely white.)
• 1 cup of rice
• an elastic/rubber band
• Polyfill stuffing
• decorations including buttons, bells, googly eyes, pipe cleaners, Sharpie marker, fabric scraps, and felt.
• glue or glue gun

Directions

• Fill the sock with one cups of rice to create a base for your snowman.
• Fill the sock with Polyfill stuffing until desired size.
• Use the rubber band to secure the top of the snowman.
• Cut of some of the excess sock and then cuff to create part of the hat.
• Decorate as desired.

My daughter, Elisabeth, and I had fun with this snowman.  She made a carrot nose with an orange piece of pipe cleaner and used eyes to create the face.  She finished by drawing a mouth, using a Sharpie marker.

We made a scarf with some plaid fabric scraps and she even fringed the ends!  The hat was made by just gluing some felt into the cuffed part.  A bell was added for a festive detail.

We used a glue gun because it is quick, easy, and dries clear.  This part is something that the adults should definitely do.  Be careful! The glue gets very hot!

I hope you want to make a snowman! Create some memories and enjoy some time crafting with you children!
