EasySnowmanOrnament

Every year I try to pick an ornament I can make for our neighbors, family and friends. This year I wanted to get the boys involved so we made these easy snowman ornaments. This is a great kid’s craft that they could create as a small gift from them.

 

You can see in our Crafting with Kids video that the boys enjoyed making these snowmen. You will also see that there are two variations on the ornament, buttons and felt or pom poms and pipe cleaners!
