Holiday fun, silly faces and lots of giggles!

“Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmas-time.” Laura Ingalls Wilder

I did this footprint snowman craft last year with Ellie Kate for a school project and we had so much fun. We couldn't wait to do it again this year! 

We used: 
Acrylic paint on canvas for the background and their footprint.
Pipe cleaners and pom poms for the earmuffs and pipe cleaners for the nose.
Ribbon for the scarves on Ellie Kate and Hayden's snowmen and the hat on Jude's snowman.
Confetti for the buttons.
Mod Podge and hot glue as adhesives. 
*The pipe cleaner and pom poms adhere much better with hot glue
The house got a little messy but that's OKAY!
Their favorite part of the craft was getting their feet painted. My favorite part was hearing their laughter and excitement while making sweet memories.
