No-Melt Snowman
What You Need
- 2" Styrofoam ball
- 2 1/2" Styrofoam ball
- 3" Styrofoam ball
- 4 Toothpicks
- Mini black pom poms
- Orange chenille stem (regular or bumpy)
- Wire cutters
- Tacky glue
- Piece of ribbon or felt
- Butter knife
How To Make It
- Take a butter knife and even off the bottom of the largest Styrofoam ball.
This will allow the snowman to stand up.
- Push a toothpick halfway into the top of the largest Styrofoam ball (make
sure the flat bottom is on the table).
- Push the medium-sized Styrofoam ball onto the toothpick.
- Push a toothpick a little more than halfway into the top of the
medium-sized Styrofoam ball. (Note: You don't want the toothpick sticking
out the top of the head!)
- Push the smallest Styrofoam ball on top of the toothpick. This is the
head.
- Cut a short piece of orange chenille stem off for the nose. (Parents
please do this step)
- Push the nose into the middle of the (front) of the smallest Styrofoam
ball.
- Glue on pom pom eyes, mouth, and buttons.
- Cut a strip of felt or ribbon for the scarf. Glue where the scarf crosses
both to the Styrofoam ball and to the other piece of scarf.
- Stick 2 toothpicks in the middle-sized Styrofoam ball for the arms.
- Congratulations! Your very own non-melting snowman! No need to be outside
in the cold.
