We read the book Snip, Snip…Snow! by Nancy Poydarand made snowflakes and snowmen.
The book is about a girl, Sophie, who desperately longs for it to snow. She resolves to create her own snow by cutting out snowflakes. The book provides step by step instructions for making your own snowflakes. This was the first time that my kids cut their own snowflakes and I loved hearing them “ohhh” and “ahhh” over the designs once the opened them up! We spiced up our snowflakes by adding glitter. (Check them out in the photo above!)
Sophie takes the “art” a bit further by recycling the snowflake scraps by using them to make a snowman. We did the same!!! (I can’t tell if they look more like snowmen or penguins!!!!)
In the end, as Sophie is cleaning up from making her snow creations, it begins to snow!!
For more stART projects, be sure to check out A Mommy’s Adventures.
I love the snowmen! We are working on a “snow theme” right now – lots of fun! 🙂
Interesting book and cute projects. I am going to put the book on the list of January books when I want to do winter theme with my daughter.
Oooh, so fun. I have been wanting to make snowflakes this year, what a great book to find. I love the idea of using the scraps to make snowman, thanks!
Hi Jenn
This sounds like a sweet and enjoyable book. The snowflakes are beautiful and it’s such a neat idea to use the scraps to create snowmen.
What a perfect book for a stART project – and what beautiful snowflakes 🙂
What a cute project!
I have to hunt down this book, it looks way too cute.
That looks like a very cute book and a fun project too! They did a great job on their snowmen, I never thought of using all of those scraps like that before.
Thank you so much for linking up :0)
Thanks for sharing this!
Those look so cute. I would never have thought of using the scraps to make something, I probably would have just thrown them away.
Fun scrap snowman! We might have to try your project today. The snow outside isn’t wet enough to build a real one.
