30 Days of Classroom Christmas Crafts and Gifts...Day 9: Snowman Pencil Toppers

 

Day 9: Snowmen Pencil Toppers



Materials:
  • styrofoam balls
  • pencils (Dollar Tree has good cheap Christmas pencils)
  • beads for eyes and nose
  • string for mouth
  • ribbon
  • glue
Directions:
  1. Push styrofoam ball onto pencil carefully (so you don't push through).  You may take off and secure with glue is desired, but not necessary.
  2. Glue beads in place for eyes and nose. 
  3. Glue small string for smile.
  4. Finish off with a ribbon bow tie!
Tips:
  • Assemble the foam ball and pencil for younger students so they don't break the ball.
  • You could also cut bits of painted orange toothpicks for noses.
  • Orange pipe cleaner bits could also work for noses.
  • Puffy paint or marker may be easier than string for smile.  
  • Be prepared to tie many bows for younger students :)
