It’s beginning to look a lot like winter! We have already had our first snow here in Philadelphia. Not too much snow and it melted as quick as it came down. There was not enough to built a Snowman but Little Dude and I made our own.
Do you want to build a Snowmen? These Snowman Ornament are adorable and easy to make from the warmth of your home. Little Dude and I made these Snowmen Ornament to give as gifts. I love fingerprint crafts. Okay, maybe I’m obsessed with fingerprints and footprints! They capture a moment in time of those little hands that you can keep around forever.
Little Dude is like any other child who loves any excuse to get messy. I love these because you are just dipping one finger at a time into paint and it is less messy then full on finger painting! Little Dude loved designing & dressing up the snowmen! Some got scarves and others got buttons, they are all different! Have fun making Snowmen with your little one.
