Once they have found all the pieces, head outdoors and put your snowman together! If there isn't any snow, have the kids take turns dressing up as a silly snowman with all the pieces they find and have an indoor snowball fight with Light-Up Plush Snowballs.

Imagination is an amazing thing and what better way for kids to use their imagination than to create their very own puppet show. Create a mini puppet theater by gluing pieces of paper from the Winter Cardstock Variety Pack onto a Elmer's® Mini Corrugated Tri-Fold Display Board. Cut out a rectangle into the middle of the board using Scissors. Print out the words and pennant banner onto White Cardstock and cut out. Hot Glue the words, banner and Foam Snowflake Glitter Shapes onto the display board. Put together the polar bears from the Silly Polar Bear Craft Kit and attach them to Craft Sticks using Hot Glue.
