Sock Snowman

Materials
Child-size white sock
Dry Rice
Scrap of material for the scarf – fleece works well
Two small googly eyes
Two colorful buttons
A small elastic band or white string
One small pom-pom
Scrap of orange felt for the nose
Black yarn for the mouth (optional)
Hot glue gun

Directions
Invite your child to fill the sock up with rice to the start of the cuff. With your help, secure the top where the cuff starts with a small elastic band or a piece of white string. Next, tie another piece of string or use an elastic band around the middle of the sock to make a head and body. Roll the top part of the sock down to make the hat. Tie a piece of fabric or ribbon around the middle for the scarf.  Using a hot glue gun, glue the pom-pom on top to finish the hat; glue two googly eyes, an orange felt nose, and a yarn mouth on the head; glue two buttons on the body. (an adult should do the gluing!)

Make a whole snowman family!  Your child will have playing and pretending with their own snow people!
