This simple employment game is easy to implement because you need material that you probably all have at home. You need white lids of screw glasses in different sizes, buttons, small coins or beads and a red-orange paper clip or cut-out carrot. Other laying material is a colored lid, a wuschel or a piece of cardboard for the design of the hat.
Get everything ready and then the game can start.
Build any snowmen together, let the child vary and always try out new combinations! Have fun with it.
Laying game with screw caps
Snowman of papier mâché
This little snowman is made of papier mâché. For this, small balloons are glued with paper and paste and then designed. During this adventure, several children can also create a snowman together. Have fun!
Apple snowman (carving apple)
Cut a snowman out of an apple! This is not difficult and is excellent for apples, whose bowl is a little wrinkled or brown. Of course you can also use an apple with a bowl. Then it is particularly suitable for a light green or yellow apple. You can see the variations at the end. Have fun!
Winter dream catchers (various variants & instruction for snow crystals)
A time-consuming offer for persevering craft lovers. A lot of creativity and own variations are needed here! Create your own winter dream catcher e.g. as a winter snow mobile, snow crystal dream catcher or as a wind game and snowman of a special kind. I show you different variants and an instruction for crafting snow crystals.
An exciting adventure – have fun!!!
Snowman with balloon printing
A simple technique with which you print a snowman with a balloon. For this you dip the balloon in white color in advance and you already have this beautiful effect. A beautiful employment idea on cold winter days.
Socks-Snowman
This cute snowman is made from a white sock! A small hat (also made from a sock) or a somewhat elaborate hat, buttons and a piece of pipe cleaner as a nose are glued quickly.
Here I have a step by step guide for both variants! Choose which snowman you like!
Paper snowmen
Today we make snowmen from paper – quite simple, completely individual and without template!
First let the children paint and cut all parts. All parts are based on simple geometric shapes: Hat = Rectangle, Carrot = Triangle, Body, Buttons and Eyes = Circle. With this information even smaller children can make the snowman completely independently. Then the parts are put together and glued together. The snowman is ready!
Cocoa – hot chocolate
Do you also have these childhood memories of such small things as homemade cocoa? When we came back to the house as children from sledging, skating or snowman building, our mother is already waiting for us there with a warm cup of homemade cocoa.
I continue this beautiful memory and also my children are looking forward to the cocoa.
This children's cocoa is made from real cocoa powder, powder sugar and milk. A cream hood refines the chocolatey treat. Simply delicious on cold winter days and also whenever you like to give some warmth.
Snowballs as a snowman
Bake snowballs and make fun snowmen out of them! With a piece of apple and a few blueberries, two snowballs with a few simple handles become a snowman.
See for yourself.
Snowman laying game
In this game with the snowman the cotton wool is placed on prepainted circles. The children can grab the cotton wool either with their hands or with a pastry plier.
In this game you train the concentration and tactile perception. The confrontation with Watte is a particularly interesting experience especially for crib children. Afterwards I have some variations and extended game ideas with this material.
