Materials:
- Construction Paper
- Cotton Balls
- Q-tip
- Blue and White Washable Paint
- Paintbrush
- Elmer's Glue
- Googlie Eyes
Now grab the cotton balls and the Elmer's glue. Coat, or have your child coat, the bottom portion of the paper with glue. Then show them how the cotton balls stick to the paper when they place them on the page. My son really loves to use his glue stick so this is probably his favorite part :) Explain to them what snow looks like, what it feels like and why it happens. If you need some help explaining the scientific details on snow, play this educational video all about snow while you are creating your own!
Now that your 'snow' is covering the page, you are ready for the polar bear. Trace a polar bear outline on white paper, cut him out and let your child glue him on. If you'd rather print out a polar bear or need some drawing inspiration, (come on, you can draw one!) go here to see some cute polar bears. All that's left to do is give him some googlie eyes-everything looks better with googlie eyes! Happy Cotton-ballin', everyone!
