It can also be used to decorate Christmas presents. Children may need some help from their parents with the glue gun but otherwise should be able to make this without too many problems.This project is recommended for children grades 3 or above because of the difficulty level and takes an afternoon to complete because of the drying time of the snow paste. Perhaps you can find other small items to use to decorate your snowmen! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Instructions: 1. Paint the clay pot green and set aside to dry. 2. Stick the stick through the 3 wooden balls. The largest ball is at the bottom of the snowman. Push all the balls to the top of the stick. Using the hot glue glue the 3 balls to each other and let the glue set. 3. Use the white snow paste and cover the snowman. Let him completely dry. 4. Use the hot glue gun and glue the painted pot to the top of his head. 5. Tie the scarf around the snowman’s neck. 6. Use the dimensional paints to dot eyes, nose and mouth on the snowman’s face.

Tie natural colored raffia in a bunch together and attach the bundle to the stick and secure with a drop of glue. Use the hot glue gun and attach the stick to the body as seen in the picture. 9.
