Wells and I get pretty bored some days and unfortunately for us, today was one of them. We were bored by about 10:00 am so rather than veg to the tv all morning or make our tenth train track set up of the day, I decided that we would be a little crafty.
Wellyn, as of late, has been obsessed with snowmen. We still talk to the one outside his bedroom window, we sing "Once There was a Snowman" multiple times a day, and whenever driving in the car he loves to hear and sing "Frosty the Snowman." Today he wanted to go outside and use the little snow that we had left and make another snowman. No way I am getting out there with my fat butt so I decided we could make snowmen out of socks.
I filled the socks with rice and then used elastics to make it into the shape of a snowman. I then took off his nice shirt, put the apron on him, and turned him loose with the markers. He loved it!
Since I am not a crafty person I had no crafty things to glue to the snowman so we got creative. I used sticks from my lilac bush for the arms and cut up an old washcloth for the scarf. He is choosing the perfect color right here:)
Only about 4 more months of winter:)
