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.

    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.

    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).

Here comes the Big Bad Wolf!

In Grade 7, Hasan had a Fairy Tale Monologue assignment.  He chose to do the Big Bad Wolf from The Three Little Pigs story.  He was supposed to be dressed as the character so the challenge for me had begun!  I didn't want to spend any money on this project.  There are wolf masks for sale online but they were pretty expensive for something that would be used only once and it wouldn't have arrived on time.  After a lot of googling I came across a video from Scribble .  The only thing I had to buy to make the mask was masking tape.  Work in progess It took me an afternoon to make this and I loved the whole process.  It's been a long time since I've done something like this.  For the claws, we already had at home the claw gloves Hasan is wearing.  We had bought them for Bilal from Ikea when he was in SK. Overall, it turned out really good and Hasan did an amazing job on the monologue.  It was hilarious and I couldn't stop wat...

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.
