What you’ll need to make these Styrofoam cup snowmen:

Before setting this craft before any children, cut a 1-inch strip from the long side of the construction paper. This will become the snowman’s scarf. You’ll need one strip for each snowman.

Cut a 1/4 inch strip from each color of paper to make the headband for the ear muffs. This strip should be about 4 inches long.

Cut a 1/2 inch triangle nose from orange paper for each snowman.

Each child will also need 2 pom poms matching their scarf and headband color, 4 small, black pom poms, 1 Styrofoam cup, and two googly eyes. If you make this in advance, placing everything each child will need in a small plastic zipper bag keeps things organized.

Assemble the snowman as follows:

  1.  Flip the cup upside down.
  2. Wrap the scarf around the bottom of the cup and glue.
  3. Glue the small strip of paper over the top of the cup. Glue a matching colored pom pom to each side of the cup.

4.  Glue 4 black pom poms to the cup to make a smile.
5.  Glue the eyes and nose to the cup.

Madreen Karle is a master first grade reading teacher with over 30 years of classroom experience. She taught reading in a special needs and English as a Second Language classroom. After retiring she wrote a reading program to help others learn how to teach reading. She is a trusted educator and author of 5 books to help teach children to read and write. In addition to her books, she is a mentor for 3 websites that give reading teacher tips (Mrs. Karle’s Sight and Sound Reading, Mrs. Karle’s Reading Patch, and Mrs. Karle’s Handwriting Patch). Through her teaching she learned that confidence was the key to learning to read. A child who is not confident at reading does not like to read and struggles to read. Mrs. Karle created “sunshine moments” to help teach children how to grow their confidence and learn to read.
Meeghan Karle Mousaw (Madreen’s daughter) has her Master’s in Special Education. She has 8 years experience teaching children to read online. In addition, she developed a curriculum to teach children handwriting called The Handwriting Patch. With the Handwriting Patch learning is fun because children learn to draw and learn handwriting at the same time. In 2019 The Handwriting Patch curriculum became an amazon best seller the first year it was released, helping thousands of kids learn handwriting with a unique, fun method. She is mom to 6 kids, each with differently learning abilities and struggles.
The Reading Patch was established by the creators of Mrs. Karle’s Sight and Sound Reading. Together they have been featured on the NBC media outlets and Parents Magazine online. Over the last 8 years in their online platform, Madreen and Meeghan have worked tirelessly with teachers, homeschoolers and parents looking to help children learn to read to become a trusted authority in teaching children to read and advocating early literacy skills. They often partner with other educational experts to deliver the most current information to the Reading Patch community.
