Press thin layers of cotton batting down on the paper as a thin layer of snow. |

Form (3) circular shapes with cotton balls to form your snowman. |
|
Step 5.
Glue the cotton balls to the paper as the snowman’s body. |

Step 6.
Dip the pieces of wagon wheel pasta in glue and attach to the paper to create snowflakes. NOTE: When using pasta with small children, adult supervision is required due to the potential choking hazard. |

| FURTHER DISCUSSION:
This is a great classroom project for preschool and kindergarten children! Pour glue onto paper plates to share. Have children practice dipping the pasta to practice their fine motor skills and use a brush to practice their sense of control. Tip: adults and teachers, make sure to have hand wipes accessible for easy clean up. You can also cut the foam hats ahead of time for Step 11. |
