You’ll Need
*Sheet Of Construction Paper
*Crayons or Markers
*Q-tips
*White Correction Fluid
Directions:
Start by having your child draw a landscape on the construction paper. They could draw a city or village with houses and streets, or a lake scene, or even just a couple of trees.
After this initial drawing is done, pour some white correction fluid on a small dish and give your child a Qtip. Have her dip the Qtip in the correction fluid and then dab small dots all over the picture. These are the snowflakes for this cute snow painting.
Give the correction fluid a little time to dry before hanging up your child’s snow painting.

Glue small Christmas Figurine (Santa, Snowman, Christmas tree) to the inside side of the lid of the Baby Food Jar. Let it dry. Fill the baby food jar about 2/3rds with water. Add Glitter. Apply some glue to the rim of the jar, so it will glue the jar to the lid when you close it. Carefully screw the lid on the jar. Let it dry completely before turning over.
