Do you want to make a snowman inside? You can make a soft snowman picture on paper!

Here is what you will need:

  • One sheet of blue paper
  • Soft white cotton balls
  • Bottle of glue
  • An orange paper triangle for the nose
  • A black paper hat
  • Small black paper dots for the eyes and smile

First, place your blue paper flat on the table.

Next, squeeze glue into three circles on the blue paper. Make one big circle at the bottom, one circle in the middle, and one small circle at the top.

Then, press cotton balls onto the glue. Fill all three circles until your snowman looks fluffy.

After that, glue the black paper hat on top of the snowman's head.

Next, add the face. Glue on the orange triangle nose and the black paper dots to make eyes and a happy smile.

Last, let your picture dry completely. Now your fluffy paper snowman is ready to display!
