#FlannelFriday: Let's Make a Snowman

This week my story time theme was snowmen. I knew I wanted to do a "make a snowman activity" on my flannel board. I thought I'd seen a similar post, but as it wasn't about snowmen I can't seem to find it.

I wanted my snowman body big. I used an entire piece of 9x12 white felt. Then I made the usual eyes, noes, mouth, hat, scarf, arms, and buttons.

 

But then the fun began. I made different options for each part.

For the eyes, I also made blue human eyes and cat eyes (which have since been called snake, frog, Grinch, creepy, and scary).

For the nose, I made a pig snout, a red reindeer nose, a chicken beak, an elephant trunk, and a man's nose with a mustache.

For the mouth, I made a beaver's mouth, a lady's mouth, and a donkey's mouth. 

For the hat, I made a chef's hat, a beret, a fedora, a cowboy hat, a toboggan, a kettle, and a party hat.

 

For the scarf, I also made a bow tie and a bandana.

 

For the arms, I also made muscle man arms and crab arms.

The kids really had fun telling me yes or no when I put an option on the snowman. Of course, I started with the zany ones and ended with the traditional.
