Instructions
Chop the potatoes in half making sure that there are different sized potatoes.
Dab them on the kitchen roll to take away some of the moisture.
Brush the bottom half of the blue card with white paint for a snowy ground.
Dip the chopped side of the larger potato into the white paint.
Press it onto the blue card as the snowman's body.
Repeat with the smaller potato to create the snowman's head.
Allow to dry.
Peel and stick the googly eyes to the snowman's head.
Dab glue spots on the snowman's body and press on the pom poms as buttons.
From the orange felt, cut triangles for carrot noses or ovals for orange noses.
Glue on the noses.
Draw on a smile with the pen.
Use the other felt, cut out a semi-circle. Glue it on and glue a pompom on the top for a woolly hat.
Cut a strip of felt and glue it on for a snuggly scarf.
Cut and twist the pipe cleaner to create the snowman's arms.
Glue the arms on with a generous amount of glue.
Allow everything to dry and then display your potato print snowmen artwork.
