Snowflakes, snowmen and snowy activities

WOW I've just found a YEAR OLD post about a snowman activity. Now I've run through it and brushed it up. Here it is:

Snow hasn't arrived yet here in Hungary, but as the weather is quite chilly outside and it gets dark early, we spend more time indoors and on snowy crafts .

Snowmen out of cotton wool pads

What you need:

• blue paper (construction paper or cardboard is better)
• cotton wool balls
• cotton wool pads
• googly eyes
• red and black beads (mine were too small, it's better to choose bigger pony beads)
• sticks and/or cotton buds
• black construction paper for the hats (I prepared them beforehand)

I'll let the pics talk for themselves:

We did a lot of talking about snowing (as well as body parts, colours and clothing) and after the activity we watched the Super Simple Song-Snowflake:

And then Frosty, the Snowmen, but this latter wasn't very popular with E.:

I'm planning more snowy activities with snowflakes and fake snow drawing. I hope we'll have time for them, too.
