Mixed Media Snowmen Art Project for Kids (1st Grade)

Are you looking for a fun new way to make snowmen with your kids? I got the idea to use makeup remover pads from Happy Hooligans.

I did this project with 1st graders.

Start by mixing shades of blue paint with white and other cool colors. Explain to kids that when you mix white with a color, it makes a lighter tint of that color. Paint a background for your snowmen. Let it dry.

Next, set out makeup remover pads, felt, ribbon, washi tape, fuzzy pom poms, foam shapes, buttons and markers. You could also use fabric, cotton balls, sequins or yarn. Choose different materials to build your snowmen. Cut out hats, scarves, eyes and whatever else you want to add to your picture. We used regular Elmer’s bottle glue to attach our parts.
