Both the toddler and preschool classes made family snowman wall hangings for their parent’s Christmas gifts. The family names have been edited out of the photo. I found this idea at that artist woman: Family Snowman Portraits. Gail did this project with second graders, but I thought we could try it with our preschoolers. It took two weeks for all the kids to finish the project, but it was really worth the effort!
Blue and white acrylic paint was mixed to get the perfect blue sky color. The children painted the entire 11″ x 14″ canvas (purchased at Michael’s) blue.
A contact paper mask was placed over the blue allowing the children to paint the snow at the bottom of the canvas.
The teachers cut circles out of foam purchased at the fabric store and then the children created a snowman for each member of their family.
Construction paper clothing was added to each snowman. Family names were added to the canvas and then covered with a clear coat of Mod Podge. Some glitter was sprinkled over the wet clear coat to add some sparkle. I really loved the way this project turned out and will do it again in a few years with another group of preschoolers.
