Okay, some people might not like this comment, but here I go…
if you make this, please skip the pipe. I know it’s in the Frosty story… but it’s not a good example for your little ones.
I have a Master of Public Health degree and 8 years of experience as an epidemiologist and now am a SAHM. I wouldn’t provide a toy to my child that contained any representation of a pipe or another smoking device. I do regularly discuss with my 5yo why smoking is bad for the body, the spirit and the wallet.
(stepping off soap box)
Otherwise I think this is awesome and I just might make some with the boatload of felt I got at Joann’s on Black Friday
Jessica, thanks for sharing your thoughts. The pipe isn’t include in the template…it was kind of a spontaneous decision as I was cutting out the felt. I can totally see why you (and everyone else) would want to skip this step! I’m certainly do not condone smoking!
I guess I just got a little too carried away thinking of Frosty and his corn-cob pipe.
Oops…that was supposed to say “I certainly do not condone smoking” instead of ‘I’m’.
Very cute, especially for those of us who don’t get snow and have children asking to build snowmen!
I really love this idea! I made my kiddos a pumpkin face similar to this a few years ago and they love playing with it every fall. I had been thinking of doing one but just envisioned a snowman face. I’m glad I saw this-now I’ll be making the whole body-way more fun! Thanks for the great idea!
I know what I’m doing tonight! I made the snowflakes a few days ago, and they are a hit. I also saw an idea online for a giant felt tree. I got a yard of green felt at the store (with a coupon, of course) and cut out two large trees. I hung those on the wall, and I am still in the process of making simple felt ornaments so my girls can decorate their very own trees. It is a wonderfully simple project–since felt sticks to felt, here is no need to attach Velcro or anything to the pieces. Tonight, my four-year-old went through my felt scrap stash and made an abstract elephant on her tree. She is my little creative crafter in the making!
