Step-by-step tutorial
Step 1
Gather all materials. This is a great project that can include as little as construction paper and white paint or as many different craft materials as you like.
Step 2
First, I gave each of the kids a piece of blue construction paper and some white paint and let them paint away. We talked about what a melting snowman would look like and feel like. My three-year-old tried painting circles, but my two-year-old mostly had fun splashing paint around!
Step 3
Then, I cut out a top hat, scarf, and twig arms out of construction paper for my two-year-old. The older kids could have cut out these shapes for themselves, but they were at school.
Step 4
While the paint was still wet, my son put the different pieces of his snowman anywhere he wanted to on his page.
Final result!
The end result was a fun abstract painting. My two and three-year-olds had so much fun and thought the idea of painting a messy, melting snowman was hilarious!
