With a quick search on Google, I came across Deep Space Sparkle where I found these adorable snowmen. The directions say to use tempera paint, but if you know me...paint and my name are hardly found in the same sentence at school!
I couldn't bear to get the paint out, so I opted for our oil pastels. I modeled how to draw a snowman up close (just like Deep Space Sparkle did). They colored in all of the white first so it didn't bleed with the other colors. Everything was outlined in black oil pastels when they finished. To make it a little more academic, I added a writing piece which you can download for free by clicking on the image below.

No matter what we are working on, this little one always manages to fit in the pink lips, some bling and flowers. {SMILE}

Did you read "Snowmen at Night" before your kiddos did this writing piece? That's what I'm thinking I might do with my Kinders. Thanks for the freebie...I love it! Oh yeah, and I'm your newest follower!
ReplyDeleteWe did this to! (The pictures are from Deep Space Sparkle, not my kiddos work)

Love this! Did it this week with my 1st graders. I had them draw the first loopy lines with just a Sharpie (instead of pastel) then painted. They used construction paper crayons for the details. They were amazing. Thanks for the idea!

I used it last winter and loved it! I used white tempera paint with wide bristles and it wasn't too bad. I had them draw in pencil first then paint. (Gave each child a small paper plate with a little tempera paint) It takes very little paint. I have the children put brushes in my sink in my room. I wash the brushes out after they sit in a bowl of warm sudsy water.The paint takes no time to dry then I had them add details with oil pastels.
ReplyDeleteThose are adorable! My kids would LOVE those little snowmen. It's too bad we have not had much stnow lately. I wouldn't mind a snow day.
