Cotton Ball Snowman

I made this awhile ago with Hasan....again there was no intention on posting it on a blog which explains the not so great picture.  Hasan really enjoyed making this...actually he enjoys most arts and crafts.  With winter coming this would be a good picture to have Hasan make again.




Materials Needed:
Cotton Balls
3 Black Pom Poms
White Paper with a circle drawn on (this is for the snowman's head)
Glue
Scissors
Crayons

How To:
On a blank paper draw 3 circles for the snowman and a hat.  On a white piece of paper draw a circle for the head of the snowman.  Draw a face on this circle.

Next cut out the snowman's head from the white piece of paper.  Glue this on the paper.  On the remaining 2 circles (the snowman's body) spread glue around.  Pick up a cotton ball and stretch it.  Place on the glue.  Continue to do so until the snowman's body is covered wit the cotton balls.

Glue on the black pom poms as the buttons.  Colour in the hat.

  1. Aww, that's cute. This is a great idea for a blog! Have you told your mommy friends/family? I'm sure they'd love it as well.

  2. I have 2 little boys that I need to keep busy too! If yours like to color check out twistynoodle.com. It's great for keeping kids entertained (for at least a little bit).

Craft Stick Fish

I saw this craft in Easy Fun Crafts with Everyday Items .  I have a bunch of craft sticks and it looked very simple.  In the book they used bigger sticks...mine were the size of Popsicle stick.  I didn't have enough of one colour so I mixed it up.  I let Hasan pick the colours.  We glued a couple of magnets on the back and Hasan gave it to his Nani (maternal grandmother).

Styrofoam Pounding

It's been a long time since I posted anything on this blog.  Things over at  Chocolate & Chillies have been keeping me busy.  I wanted to share with you this activity I did with my boys.  A while ago my friend was visiting from Louisiana and she had her kids doing this activity. It's very simple and kids love it.  It is kids banging golf tees into a piece of styrofoam.  I wouldn't do this with a large group of kids because it can get dangerous.  I had trouble pulling out some of the pounded in golf tees.

Toilet Paper Roll Octopus

I saw this craft a long time ago and thought it would be good to do with Hasan.  It's pretty simple and I've seen it on numerous websites .  The hardest thing for Hasan was waiting for the paint to dry.  We completed it in two days because Bilal woke up early from his nap after Hasan was done painting.
