Instructions for the project:

On one of the paper plates, cut off the outer rim. Punch a hole near the rim that goes through on both plates. Tie the two plates tightly together, using the yarn (or ribbon). Using black construction paper, draw and then cut out a top hat and two boots. On colored construction paper (or gift wrap paper), draw and then cut out two mittens. Have the child glue the hat, boots and mittens on the snowman. You can now either glue on googly eyes or draw eyes. Draw a mouth on your snowman. For the nose, you can cut a short length from an orange pipe cleaner. Stick the pipe cleaner through the plate to secure it (if the plate is too tough, you can make a tiny hole with the tip of the scissors). For the buttons, cut out shapes from construction paper, use round stickers, glue on real buttons, or simply draw them.
