*This craft can also be made into a great gift by placing gourmet popcorn inside the bag instead of packaging peanuts.

Hi! I just wanted to drop you a note and let you know how cute my snowmen turned out. I made the ones with Ziplock bags. For the inside of the bag, I stuffed it with a piece of white tissue paper. I also took our verse for the day in childrens church and copied it onto an address label and printed out 20 of them and stuck a sticker on each childs snowman tummy (Ziplock bag) They were adorable! Every age group loved this one. GREAT IDEA! Millie Morris

Melting Snowman Guess the Word Game

This game is played like hangman except children remove a snowman part until the entire snowman has "melted" away.

Before class cut out the snowman pieces. (Use the pattern above.) You can laminate the pieces and add velcro tabs so the pieces can be used over an over again on a flannel board.

In class give your students a list of vocabulary or spelling words. Have one child secretly pick a word, count the number of letters in the word and then draw that many spaces on a piece of paper.

Have your students take turns guessing letters that might be in the words. If a letter is guessed that is not in the word a part of the snowman is taken away. If the children guess the word before the whole snowman "melts" away, another child takes a turn being the person who picks a word. Play until all the children have had a turn picking a word.
