Paper Bowl Snowman Craft Instructions:
1. Begin by by pouring a small amount of pink paint onto a paper plate. Use your sponge dabber painting brush to paint rosy cheeks on your paper bowl snowman craft. Let the paint dry completely.
2. Cut a square and rectangle out of your black cardstock to form a snowman hat. Use your stapler to first staple the square at the top of the paper bowl. Then staple the rectangle brim of the hat at the bottom of the square piece.
3. Cut out a rectangle from your blue cardstock to make a snowman scarf. Then cut out another smaller rectangle to look like the scarf is wrapped around the snowman’s neck. Staple the scarf at the bottom of your paper bowl. Cut slits along the ends of the scarf with scissors.
4. Cut out a carrot nose from your orange adhesive foam sheet. Glue your googly eyes on your paper bowl snowman craft. Then peel the backing off your foam sheet carrot and place it on your snowman. Finally glue a black button mouth onto your snowman craft.
5. Finish your snowman craft by adding a few snowflake stickers on your hat and scarf. Or use crayons or markers to draw decorations on the scarf.
