Indoor Snowman


Mrs. karen's class has a really fun idea for cold days when there's no snow outside.  She first has a snowball fight using crumpled up newspaper.  Then to aid in clean up she uses white garbage bags and stuffs the snowballs into the bags.  Once the bags are full and tied up the kids decorate with construction paper buttons and the hat and scarf that would go on the outdoor snowman.

Good for ages 3 and up.
