The kids will love to squish, roll and stick stuff together!
You need:
--2 cups mild, powered laundry detergent (recommended: Ivory Snow Ultra)
--1/2 cup water
--toothpicks
--electric beater
--twigs, cloves, buttons, felt
--seed beads, tempera paints
--egg carton
--pipe cleaners
To mix up a batch of faux snow, pour the Ivory Snow into a bowl, add water and whip with an electric beater until doughy.
Shape the damp soap into 3 balls. Stack them by gently pushing a toothpick halfway into the center of the bottom ball. Then, push the middle ball down onto the toothpick until the 2 balls touch. Do the same for the snowman's head.
Now, add twig arms, clove eyes, shirt buttons and a felt scarf.
To make a smiling mouth, press on a row of seed beads. For a mini carrot nose, color the tip of a short twig with orange paint.
Top off the snowman with an egg-cup hat or a set of pipe cleaner earmuffs. As the soap dries (this can take a few hours), it will lose its grayish tinge and turn bright white.
