Build A Felt Snowman

We are working on our snowman theme this week and a I put together a felt snowman activity that the children really enjoyed.  I had previously purchased felt pieces from michaels craft store so I already had quite a stash built up.  They are inexpensive but sometimes they have sales that make them worth buying even if do not need any at the time.

I free cut all of the pieces using a really good pair of scissors. I made three different sized circles for the snowman out of white felt.  I then made arms (twig shaped) ... mittens ... a scarf ... a hat and a broom. I also made the eyes ... mouth and nose.

I set all of the snowman pieces out in a center and the children put them together deciding which piece went where.  They could work individually or in pairs.  Once the snowman was built the children decided on a name and talked about why snow forms and what will happens to snow when it gets warmer.  They then took the snowman apart for the next child to work on.
