Mini Snowmen and a Game
You've heard of reindeer games I'm sure... but have you heard of a snowman game?
This is a fun one that starts out with a craft and ends up with a game and it's not too late to try this.
The kids and grandkids are going to love it! Especially the grandkids because you can do it at their house! 😂
Take a look!
I found the cutest little tiny unfinished snowmen at the Dollar Tree recently.
As you're reading through this post please pay attention to the bold blue links that will take you to more information and the products I used for this project. Also the READ MORE sections will take you to related Homeroad projects.
I wasn't sure what I was going to do with them but if nothing else they'd make cute bowl fillers.
I'm using 2 packages of 8 so I have a whole bunch of little cute snowmen for the game.
I started out by painting them. I used Waverly Chalk Paint in the color Plaster. I painted them using a baby wipe so they had a stained effect.
You can hardly see that they were painted so if you are pressed for time, leave off the white paint!
Next, I used black craft paint to paint the little hats.
Finally, I used a Sharpie marker to make the eyes and mouths and then an orange marker for the carrot noses!
I tied a piece of red baker's twine around their necks for a scarf and I was done!
That was it!
They are just the cutest!

And now for the holiday game for kids....
You go over to your son or daughter's house and hide the snowmen all around the house. The key is however, not to tell anyone you hid them. They will be so excited to keep finding them in random places!
Hide them in the refrigerator,
on picture frames,
or in the bathroom.
Hide them in plain sight and at the level of the children.
Don't tell them you hid them, just drop them around wherever you go.
Then little by little the kids will find them.
When they go to brush their teeth... snowman!
When they reach for a glass... snowman!
You can even drop them in the cereal bowl they'll be using the next day!
Nobody is going to know how many there are or where they'll find the next one!
This is a fun game for before Christmas or even for after the holidays!
So the next time you're babysitting... hide a few snowmen after they go to bed! 😂 It will be so much fun!
I may even do this for my 25 year old that just moved home... she won't know what is going on! 😂
