Easily transform your fall pumpkins into a snowman perfect for your winter decor with just a few supplies and these simple instructions.

Materials Needed:

  • White and orange paint
  • Plaster of Paris
  • Water
  • Sponge

** Parents, you’ll need to provide some assistance with the hot glue gun **

Instructions:
  1. Hot glue the pumpkins together. 
  2. Mix white paint with a little of Plaster of Paris and a little bit of water.
  3. Hand the kids a sponge and let the sponge paint the pumpkins. Let dry completely.
  4. Paint a pumpkin stem orange for the nose. Once it is dry, glue it to the top pumpkin. 
  5. Glue eyes, other facial features and buttons to the snowman. Use a small scrap of fabric to tie a scarf around the neck.
