Cotton wool and toilet roll snowmen – a perfect craft for preschoolers and toddlers!

Much to our disappointment we have had no snow yet this year – there’s a small possibility of some in the next day or two!  So we have been making do with reading about snow in our winter book collection and these super cute snowmen were inspired by some of the fun books we have been sharing recently.

Toilet Rolls and Cotton Wool Snowmen – A preschool Winter Craft

What you need:

• toilet rolls
• cotton wool
• scraps of ribbon or fabric (we used ribbon and cut up some old tshirts
• googly eyes
• coloured paper
• pva glue

What you do:

1. pull a number of cotton wool balls apart
2. cover a toilet roll in glue
3. stick the shredded/pulled cotton wool onto the rolls
4. tie a ribbon or strip of colourful fabric around the tub to make a scarf
5. cut out a hat shape on a strip of paper, wrap it around the top of the roll and secure with a little glue or tape
6. glue on googly eyes and an orange triangle for the nose
