Mixed Media Snowmen Art Project for Kids (1st Grade)

Mixed Media Snowman Art Project for KidsAre you looking for a fun new way to make snowmen with your kids?  I got the idea to use makeup remover pads  from Happy Hooligans.

I did this project with 1st graders.

Start by mixing shades of blue paint with white and other cool colors.  Explain to kids that when you mix white with a color, it makes a lighter tint of that color.  Paint a background for your snowmen.  Let it dry.
