Potato Head Snowman and Accessories


We placed the small parts in a baggie and the rest in a plastic container. Now Amanda has her very own Mr. Snowman which she prefers to dress-up as Mrs. Snowman.


Amanda simply adores this project. We can always add new parts!  Note the Kitty ears headband and blonde wig.


Years ago, I learned to save old marker lids to use as game pieces. These make perfect arms in interchangeable colors.  The possibilities are endless.
