Baby Food Lid Snowman

Happy New Year to all of you! I hope your 2015 is off to a great start! Wynn and I have had a lot of time to do some crafting during this week of the holidays. That meant of course that I pulled out my stash of apple sauce and baby food lids. 


The Target brand applesauce has white food lids, and I've found them to be perfect for winter crafting. We took three of the lids and made little snowmen. I used three lids, a piece of orange scrapbook paper, glue, googly eyes and some yarn I had on hand.

Wynn helped me to thread through some yarn to attach the three caps together. Then we used a dab of Elmer's glue to attach to eyes to the top lid. Then we cut out long traingles in the cardstock to make some noses for our snowman.  The yarn also serves as if it is a scarf at the top of the snowmen as well. Then we used one other piece of yarn to create a hook to hang the snowman with at the top.

 Hope you like our newest creation for our food lid crafting.  Happy Winter!


Here are some of the other projects I've made using baby food lids. They are all super kid friendly if you choose to use something other than a glue gun of course.  I would love to hear about if you've ever made anything using these lids. I've found them to be very fun to use with Wynn.

Snowman Ornament Kid Craft

I was looking for something fun to do with Wynn for her own Christmas tree. I had purchased some clear ornaments from Michaels, and decided we could create some snowman ornaments together.

We used some tissue paper, cardstock, glue and the ornaments to put them together.  Wynn filled the ornaments with strips of tissue paper. 

I decided to use tissue paper because it does not make a huge mess when you are filling up the ornament. You could use sugar, salt, beads or just about anything white to fill in the ornament. Using tissue paper also allowed Wynn to fill them up almost 100% on her own, and she enjoyed doing it.

We made a couple for her tree, and she really loves them. Now, we just have to get the tree up sometime soon so she can add them herself. This only took about fifteen minutes to complete with a three year old. It was a lot of fun, and was something we could do while the two little boys cat napped.
