DO YOU WANT TO BUILD A SNOWMAN?

Christmas is fast approaching. Due to the pandemic that is affecting everyone globally, some of us would not be able to get a white Christmas where we are at. Desperate times call for desperate measures. If we can’t go to a white Christmas, let’s MAKE a white Christmas!

Here’s an easy recipe to get our kids in the mood. Let them build a snowman with some snowballs and eat it too.

This is one of the simplest and delicious cookies to make for Christmas. No mixer required.

Ingredients:
1 cup plain flour
1 cup assorted nuts (Pecan, Walnut, Almond)
1/2 cup salted butter
3 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Powdered sugar

Method:

Combine flour, nuts, butter, sugar and vanilla extract
Press them together and knead until it they form a soft dough
Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes
Shape into balls and bake at 170C for 20 minutes
Roll the balls in powdered sugar while they are still warm
Let them cool for 15 minutes and roll in sugar again
To make a snowman, use condensed milk to stick chocolate chips as the eyes, carrot as the nose and chocolate rice as the mouth

We are making a toilet paper roll snowman today 😀

Toilet Paper Roll Snowman

Cut a strip of white paper

Wrap and paste the toilet paper roll. You may opt to paint the whole roll white instead of wrapping it with paper.

Cut another toilet paper roll at 1/3 of the length and paint black as the snowman’s hat

Cut a circle and paste the top of the hat. Cut a bigger circle for the bottom of the hat.

Paste the hat on the white toilet roll.

Add details such as eyes and all.

Your toilet paper roll snowman is done 🙂

Today we are just going to put cotton balls together to make a snowman 😀

Just paste the cottonball and decorate as you wish. Your snowman is done 😀

I’m in such a joyous Christmas mood that every single thing I see reminds me of Christmas! 😀

Let’s make a footprint snowman today 🙂

Footprint Snowman

Paint your foot white. It’s gonna be ticklish! 😀

Stamp your painted foot onto a piece of dark coloured construction paper

Help the little one cut the tiny details such as the hat, scarfs, buttons, eyes and mouth.

You may use construction paper, felt or foam 🙂

Paste the tiny details

Your footprint snowman is done! 😀

P/S: I just realised the snowman doesn’t have hands! 😛

Come Christmas, all I can think of is a wonderful winter wonderland. Let’s get some paper plate and ‘build’ a cute snowman 🙂

Paper Plate Snowman

Glue two paper plates together. Put cloth pegs to secure it until the glue dries up.

I cut a carrot out of an orange foam for the nose. Glue it onto the snowman.

I cut circles out of green foam for the buttons. See my boy trying to photograph himself pasting the buttons here. He's learning to take over my job! 😀

Use a hole punch to punch out tiny dots for the mouth.

I use felt for the scarf, pipe cleaner for the hands and foam and ribbon for the ear muffs. The snowman is ready to cheer up your wall. If you wish to convert it into a mobile, just do two of it and paste it back to back. Tie a string over it and hang. Nice 😀
