I thought it would be a good idea to use it with V, both for arts and crafts activity and also as a visual aid to help her to see how many days she still needs to wait for the so expected Wineter Break of hers. I wasn't sure of what theme to do, so I saw this cute and fun idea from fromabcstoacts.com and decided to give it a try!
Material Needed:
- White Cardstock (8-1/2" x 11")
- Black Cardstock (8-1/2" x 11")
- Black and orange markers
- Glue
- Scissors
- something round and big enough to make the base of the hat (we used one of the little tea cup saucer)
Directions:
Cut 2" stripes of the white cardstock to make the chains, we used 2 full sheets of the white cardstock.
Cut a 1-1/2" stripe of black cardstock to make the hat, and draw a circle big enough to be the hat base, then cut it. Adhere the the black hoop/ring made with the black stripe to the base of the hat.
Link 3 paper rings to make the base of the snowman then, keep on linking the paper rings to attain the desired number for your countdown. We have only a week to go, so we used 5 rings, one for each day of the week.
On each ring I wrote the day of the week.
Project all done, now time to find the right place to hang the snowman paper chain!
Hubby said a real snowman has 3 parts, but we made ours with only two, so it's up to you if you want to make your with the parts then attach the rest of the paper rings.
Feel free to share pictures of your snowman if you decided to give this project a try. If you have any questions, feel free to ask either at the comment section below or through the contact form.
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.
