SUPPLIES NEEDED:

Directions to make Sponge Painted Snowman:

1. Trim your used sponge to create a round shape.

2. Place your white poster paint onto the paint palette.

3. Dip your sponge onto the white poster paint and press it onto the paper. Repeat step until you create a small circle for the Snowman’s head.

4. Do the same step to create the Snowman’s body. This time, create a bigger circle connecting from the small circle. Leave the paint to dry.

5. Using your colored papers, cut out different shapes for the Snowman’s body parts. Cut two twig hands using a brown colored paper, cut one small triangle using the orange colored paper for the nose, and cut out three rectangular shapes using either green or yellow colored paper for the scarf. You can actually use any colors you'd like so be creative.

6. Assemble the scarf by overlapping the two rectangles together and glue it at the back of the remaining rectangle.

7. Glue the cutouts onto the snowman’s body.

8. Draw the snowman’s eyes and mouth using a black marker. If you want, you can also draw a hat or cut one out and glue that too. When you're all done, be sure to hang your masterpiece on the 'fridge!
