Snowy puffy paint recipe
The snow puffy paint is made by simply mixing shaving foam with white glue. You will need roughly equal amounts of each, maybe slightly more shaving foam. You really don't need to be too exact with your measurements. We also added sparkles to our snow puffy paint and sprinkled it on top of our melted snowmen for extra sparkle!
Melted Snowman Craft
- Cut out hats, buttons and carrot noses from card and scarves from felt scraps. Collect some small twigs to use as arms.
- Mix up the snow puffy paint and spoon it onto blue card to make your melted snowman shape.
- Add googly eyes, a nose, hat, twigs, buttons and a scarf.
- Add an extra sprinkle of sparkles over your melted snowman.
(We also have a printable version of this activity with a melted snowman poem or a writing frame to encourage your child to think about why a snowman would melt)
Harry and Daisy quickly realised that it was much more fun to use their hands rather than a spoon to make their snowmen.
They loved getting messy and the feel of the snowy paint.
Once dry the puffy paint keeps it's shape.
Here is a cute little poem to read as you make your melted snowmen. Click here for a printable version of this melted snowman poem and a writing frame to encourage children to think about why a snowman would melt.
