i’ve always looked at glue tops and thought they should be used for something. why not a carrot nose?
here’s what to do:
read snowballs by lois ehlert
notice all the things used for facial features
talk about how a snowflake has poky edges
shred white paper
paint the back of a paper plate with glue
sprinkle the shredded paper on (so it’s poky-looking)
press down on the paper
shake off the extra
wash your hands if you don’t like glue on them
choose 2 milk lid eyes
choose a glue top nose
choose as many tickets as you want for a mouth
choose a hat cut from cardboard (from the wagons’ boxes)
let your teacher use hot glue to make sure they stick
decide if your snow person is a boy or girl
sing this song to the tune of “twinkle, twinkle:
snowboy (or girl or dog or cat, etc), snowboy, where can you be?
i built you yesterday when you were here with me
i made you tall (or small) and i made you fat
i gave you a nose, two eyes, and a hat
now my snowboy has melted away (sing this part very slowly and with a sad face)
but the snow is falling and it’s time to play! (sing this part very quickly while clapping)
wow! what a creative project! That looks like a lot of fun!
