Our Lady of Snows ~ Super Easy Art Project!

Okay! Now for some *snow* fun for my youngsters! As I’ve said in my last three post, my kids and I are having some wintery fun this fine HOT week in August! Our Lady of Snows feast day was Aug 5th

I stumbled onto this fun simple craft idea a few months back at No Time for Flash Card

It super easy for younger kids!

You will need:

colored paper (we used blue and purple)
white glue
cotton balls
crystals from the Crystal Snowflake project or glitter (both are optional)

First use the white glue to create a snowflake shape

We made a simple “T” and “X” design

Nice for learning to draw the letters, too! 😉

Then the kids added cotton balls to the white glue lines.

When they finished they looked like this.

Now, you can stop there, but…….

…my kids are over-achievers when it comes to art projects, so they couldn’t stop!!!

My 8 year old daughter said: “That’s it?!?! That’s too simple.” And so the whole group began to ask for more….So I quickly decided to make use of those pretty crystals that were left on the bottom of our crystal snowflake container.

They added more glue designs on and around the cotton ball snowflake. Then they added some of those crystals from our last project. (glitter will work, too.)
