Snow People

I am so excited about this idea and how it turned out- I had to blog about it as soon as I was done! (besides, maybe if I get it on here now other people can try it before Christmas)

I wanted them to color-coordinate, but feel free to mix it up

So, we have a bunch of the containers from baby snacks- and they were just begging me to be dressed up. I was planning on doing people with them, but today I realized they would make WONDERFUL snow men! I figured if I filled them with "snowballs" I could give them as gifts.

With the lids on they will be airtight for storage

So, here is what you will need:
containers- (I used the ones from baby easy dissolve puff snacks.) Cleaned and dried.
Felt
pipe cleaners (I did white and brown)
Ribbon or fabric scraps
buttons
glue gun
permanent markers (black and orange- though my daughter wanted them to have pink eyes)
wire cutters (for pipe cleaners)

Puppy chow is one of my favorite foods!

And for the "snowballs"
chocolate chips
peanut butter
Kix (or other ball-type) cereal
powdered sugar
zipper baggie (bigger=better)
saucepan/pot (I should've used a larger one. It will need to be enough for your chocolate and peanut butter- but also your cereal)
I used this recipe.







So, you just decorate your snow people as you see fit. Then you fill them with "snowballs". Then you give them away, or decorate your house with them, or give them to your kids to play with (after you've taken pictures of course!)

All ready to gift!

I am seriously going to go buy more puffs and store them in zipper baggies to have more containers to decorate. Have fun!
