(This idea came home from school.)

Materials:

• large sheet of blue construction paper
• white paper cut into three circles (large, medium and small)
• coloured construction paper cut into the shape of mittens
• optional: black construction paper cut into the shape of a hat and two round eyes
  
• optional: orange construction paper cut into a triangle
• optional: red construction paper cut into the shape of a mouth
• glue
• white tempra paint and big round paint brush (alternately, an old bottle cork will do)
  
• optional: other colours of paint to add / decorate hat, eyes, nose, mouth etc
  

Instructions:

• have child glue the circles -- largest at the bottom of the sheet, smallest at the top
• add mittens, hat, eyes, nose and mouth
• dab paint to make snowflakes falling from the sky (the paint on this image was dabbed on with an old bottle cork)
