Cotton Pad Snowman Puppets Kids Craft

Hi friends! It’s Stacey stopping by with another kid friendly craft idea that is PERFECT to beat those cold winter boredom blues with. Using wood craft sticks, felt and some fun colorful embellishments, you too can make an adorable cotton pad snowman puppet together with your child in no time. Then use them as fun winter themed decorations or as awesome pretend play pieces in the living room.

So what are you waiting for? Don’t let this kid friendly craft idea MELT away. Let’s grab those craft supplies and BUILD some awesome one-of-a-kind “frosty” pretend play pieces today. Happy crafting, my friends!!!

Cotton Pad Snowman Puppet Supplies:

• Darice Jumbo Wood Craft Sticks
• Cotton Pads {found in the nail care aisle}
• Darice Kid Craft Scissors
• Craft Felt
• Darice Felties Felt Glue
• Darice Mini Pom Poms

Step 1. First you will want to glue THREE cotton pads, in a row, on ONE jumbo craft stick. Remember to leave some wood stick exposed so kids can hold their puppets with ease.

Repeat for each snowman puppet you want to make. Once done, set aside to let them dry completely.

Step 2. Next grab your craft felt and scissors. Go ahead and cut out embellishments for your snowmen. We did some simple black hats, colorful scarves and of course – small black squares for eyes and a triangular orange nose. Again, repeat for each snowman puppet you are making.

Step 3. Now for the final and most fun step of all – assembling! Simply glue all your felt pieces to the front of the cotton pads, along with pom pom “buttons” along the body. Add other embellishments {maybe some glitter, feathers or even rhinestones} you see fit before displaying/playing with proudly.
