Happy snowy winter!

A simple and creative snowman!

All you need is

• Buttons of different sizes.

For scarf use construction paper of different colors.I used white, orange and red colors. Cut them into one and half inches long pieces. Stick them together at the center.
Now, place the scarf horizontally on the black paper and stick at the center.
Stick small button above the scarf in the center and bigger button at the bottom as shown. Then, fold the scarf from one side and stick it with the glue on the other side.

Don’t throw away those wipe containers.

Turn them into fun. Use them to store crayons, Pencil colors, pens, markers, pencils and other art and school supplies. They are easy and simple for children to manage too.

Add more fun by giving children an opportunity to use their stickers to decorate..no more messy walls and doors!!!!

What you will need is

• The crayon stubs

• Muffin Liners

• Oven

All you need to do is

1. Peel of the paper from crayons.

2. Chop crayons into 1/4 inch pieces

3. Place muffin liners in muffin pan.

4. Fill the liners in the pan with colorful crayon pieces spacing out different colors.

5. Preheat the oven at 250 degrees.

6. Bake crayons for 12-15 minutes. (Leaving crayons in oven for too long may result in one solid color)

7. Let it cool for an hour.

8. Once they are cool remove them from pan and separate the liners.

Enjoy all new colorful crayons!
