With the kids staying home during the winter vacation, we’re always looking for fun ways to keep them busy. While craft projects in themselves are quite entertaining, making some seasonal crafts are sure to make the kids more fascinated with it. These crafts are easy to make and require little supervision. The best part is that since they’re all recycled, they use up materials that might have just been thrown away otherwise!
Paper Roll Snowman
What you’ll need:
- Toilet paper roll or Kitchen towel roll cut in half
- White paper or paint
- Small piece of orange paper
- Any colorful paper
- Black felt

Here’s how to use these simple materials to create a fun snowman toy to play with:
Step 1:
Take the paper roll and either paint it white or wrap it with white paper.
Step 2:
From the black felt, cut out a circle that is a little bit larger than the paper roll.
Step 3:
Glue this circular piece of felt to one end of the paper roll. On top of the black felt, glue the jar cap.
Step 4:
Cut a strip from the colorful paper and wrap it around the white roll to form a scarf. Glue it in place.

Stick the googly eyes in place or draw the eyes on with black markers. For the nose, create a cone from orange paper and stick it below the eyes.
Add any additional décor if you want and that’s it!
