One-minute DIY projects - foamy the snowman

If you have missed out on all the crazy snowfalls this winter and your kids still want to make a snowman - check out this craft idea. This foam snowman is an easy DIY project for children and they get to practice cutting out shapes like circles, rectangles, and triangles.

Here's what you need:
1 White Foam Sheet
1 Black Foam, 2” X 4”
Black Foam Scraps
Orange Foam Scraps
Ribbon Spool or 3” Diameter Circle
Scissors
Hole Puncher
Craft Glue
Pencil

Step by step
1) Take the sheet of white foam and trace a circle at the bottom of the foam using the ribbon spool (or 3” circle ... you can use cups, plates or cans).
2) Trace another circle into the first circle about 1/2 inch from the top (you can use a bigger circle shape for this one)
3) Trace another circle into the second circle about 1/2 inch from the top. It should now be a snowman shape.

The Snowman

In case you haven't seen Raymond Briggs' classic short story recently, or not with your children, or not ever (!) Such a nice story and amazing hand-drawn animation. No wonder it was nomiated for an Academy Award in 1982.
