Our Kindergarten kids were involved in the craft making and helped to paint the pegs white. We gave them a little help when adding the pipe cleaner scarf The pompom carrot nose was a bit tricky to stick, we found that a hot glue gun worked best! Read on for the full instructions…

Clothespin Snowman Craft Instructions

First we painted each wooden clothespin white with acrylic paint. You could also sprinkle with glitter to add some extra sparkle. Depending on the quality of your paint you made need to do a couple of coats. Leave the clothespins to dry.

Next we wrapped a chenille stick around the peg for a scarf. You can also use ribbon or wool, whatever craft scraps you have.

For the nose we used mini orange pom poms. Glue onto the wooden clothespin with clear glue. Leave to dry.
