Snowy Shapes
This frosty friend shapes up to be quite a character as kids turn shapes into a snow friend. Children build geometry skills while they create artwork.
1. Spread newspaper over your work area.
2. To make a traditional snow sculpture, use white Crayola® Washable Kid's Paint and Paint Brushes to paint three circles on colored construction paper. Start at the bottom with the largest circle and work up to the top, making each circle smaller than the one before. Or create your own original snowy shape design.
3. Add dots of white paint for snowflakes, or spatter paint by tapping the brush lightly on your finger. Dry completely.
4. Draw features on your snow sculpture with Crayola Washable Crayons. Think up as many ways as you can to use squares, rectangles, triangles, and circles to create and decorate your snow sculpture scene. Watch it take shape before your eyes.
5. Add icy sparkle to your picture with Crayola Glitter Glue.
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.

Tips for Building Snow Sculptures: Fresh snow that is not too dry is best. Pack snow tightly when forming large snowballs. Flatten the top of the base for easy building.
