Toilet Paper Roll Snowman


Another snowman craft made my Hasan.  I saw this idea on Crafts By Amanda.  She also made children out of toilet paper rolls as well.  They looked so cute I had to get Hasan to make one of them.  I love her idea of how to make the earmuffs...very creative!  This was the first time Hasan used the hot glue gun.  Everything dried very quickly.  We didn't paint the toilet paper roll because I wanted to finish this craft in one sitting.

Materials Needed:
1 toilet paper roll
small piece of pipe cleaner
2 small pom poms
2 buttons
1 strip of felt
markers
hot glue gun

How To:
You could paint the toilet paper or even wrap it in construction paper.  Since ours was white we left it as is.

Draw on the snowman's eyes, eyebrows, mouth, nose and some rosy cheeks.

Using a glue gun, glue on the buttons.

To make the ear muffs we first glued the pipe cleaners on using the glue gun and then glued a pom pom on each side.

Finally tie the felt around the snowman to make the scarf.  Done!

    How cute, love how it turned out! I hope you don't mind, but I added this picture to my fan page photo album on Facebook and linked it back to your blog post :) https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152687265720217&set=a.10152588178750217.962583.323548680216&type=3&theater

      Thank you Amanda! Hasan loved making it! I also had him made the styrofoam jellyfish from your blog (http://keepin2boysbusy.blogspot.ca/2012/08/styrofoam-jellyfish.html)

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.
