My friend, Hannah, posted her cute little sock snowmen on Facebook recently. I just loved them, and thought it would be a fantastic Christmas activity; especially after we had snow yesterday - not enough to make a real snowman, mind you.
She sent me a link to Then she made... and I eagerly found all the bits, in our house, to put the little snowman together. He didn't quite end up like I wanted him to (I was going for a jazzy sequinned snowman), but this is what happens when you let a toddler chose what you are going to do.
I still think he is very cute - and think we'll have to get some more socks, so we can make more... Maybe I will get a jazzy snowman too! :)
You need a long white sports sock, an elastic band (I used a hair band), material for scarf and/or shirt, rice or beans, string, a tooth pick or BBQ stick painted orange, a black marker and some pins. You can also use beads, sequins and buttons.
- Cut the toe off the sock and tie with an elastic or hair band
- Turn inside out and fill with rice or beans
- Tie the top closed and cut off the top rim of the sock
- Tie two pieces of string on the body, to make three body parts
- Dress your snowman
- For the eyes, I coloured pins with a black marker - thought that would look the most like a traditional snowman
- Glue the nose on
And voilà! Your little snowman is complete.
Enjoy!
