You know that stage when everything gets thrown off tables? Bins get dumped? Nativity scenes get wiped out in a single visit from Baby-zilla? Yeah we are knee deep in that right now. It’s fun. This is a really simple classic craft but with a few tricks you can save yourself cleaning up gobs of glue from the floor, your baby’s mouth or hair. As you can see she loved making this snowflake craft for toddlers and points to it and asks me to hold her up to touch it in the window daily.
- Gather your materials. You will need some cotton balls, glue, a dish, a paint brush ( pretty wide like an inch or so) and some construction paper. I used 2 pieces one to glue the cotton balls onto and one to use as a backing to make it strong enough to hang it up.
- Start by pouring some white glue in a small dish.
- Paint the glue onto the paper in the shape of a snowflake.
- Add kiddo and cotton balls.
- Because the glue is so thin the cotton balls stick but if they pick it back up there won’t be a ton of glue on it. I rotated the paper as she filled up each arm of the snowflake.
- Lable the textures as they explore and make the snowflake- soft, sticky glue , rough ( or smooth) paper.
- Let dry and cut around the snowflake and glue onto the 2nd page if you need some extra strength. Hang up where your little one can see their awesome snowflake craft.
