Total Time Needed: Afternoon Or Evening
Squish, roll, and stick together a festive snowman family.
Materials
- 2 cups Ivory Snow Ultra
- 1/2 cup water
- Toothpicks
- Twigs
- Cloves
- Buttons
- Felt
- Seed beads
- Tempera paints
- Egg carton
- Pipe cleaners
Instructions
- To mix up a batch of faux snow, pour the Ivory Snow into a bowl, add the water and whip with an electric beater until doughy.
- Shape the damp soap into three balls. Stack them by gently pushing a toothpick halfway into the center of the bottom ball. Then, push the middle ball down onto the toothpick until the two balls touch. Do the same for the snowman's head.
- Add twig arms, clove eyes, shirt buttons and a felt scarf. To make a smiling mouth, press on a row of seed beads. For a mini carrot nose, color the tip of a short twig with orange paint. Top off the snowman with an eggcup hat or a set of pipe cleaner earmuffs.
Tips:
As the soap dries (this can take a few hours), it will lose its grayish tinge and turn bright white.
