Salty Snowman Picture
This was a fun Winter art project Emily and I both enjoyed during a pocket of time while Clara was napping earlier this afternoon. Emily loved how the salt made the snow seem so “realistic”. I loved that this did not involve glitter (a.k.a. what I affectionally refer to as “the herpes of all craft supplies”). Plus, salt is waaaaay cheaper!
To make your own salty snowman picture, you will need some salt, crayons, construction paper, paintbrush, and glue.
Start by drawing your snowman with the crayons. Emily didn’t leave quite enough room at the top of the paper for the snowman’s hat, but she loved how it looked as though it was blowing off his head in the wind!
Next, brush glue over the parts that will be covered with salt for a snowy effect.
Pour on the salt and shake any access off the paper. Here’s where a baking sheet is perfect for containing any mess.
I made a salty snowman picture too!
Added benefit of using salt instead of glitter — no need to worry about little ones getting some in their mouths.
Have fun!!
