Kids DIY: Festive sock snowman

1 white sock
1 coloured sock
3 coloured buttons
2 rubber bands
A small orange pom pom
Rice
A black marker
A glue gun
Scissors
A small amount of ribbon (about 20cm)
A scrap piece of paper

Create a makeshift funnel with a scrap piece of paper and tape to secure. Then take the rice and fill the white sock until it’s about 2/3 full. 

Pack the rice down and tie off the sock with a rubber band to prevent the rice from falling out. You should be able to mould two vague circle shapes (one larger than the other).

Take the second rubber band and tie it about 1/3 of the way down, separating the head and body of the snowman. 

With the help of an adult, use the glue gun to glue on the buttons. 

Take a black marker and draw on the eyes, and then the smile. 

Roll the pom pom until it becomes the shape of a small cone, and glue it in the middle of the snowman’s face. 

Tie the ribbon around the snowman’s neck to make a scarf, and glue down the sides of the ribbon to secure. 

Ask an adult to help trim the top off the sock. 

With the help of an adult, cut the coloured sock just before the start of the heel. Fold the edge over to make a small beanie. 

Put the beanie on the snowman. You’re done!
