As you know, I am always looking for cool ideas for my son to do outside. Even in Florida, it is quite cold today (a whopping 20*, yet this weekend I'm sure we will be back up to the 80s), and this always makes me think of my stint up north in the snow. So I had to find a cute snow inspired craft, and this one caught my eye immediately. Of course, I found it courtesy of my friends at Disney Family Fun. And even if you live in an area more prone to sand than snow, it could always be re-created at the beach (and I'm sure the seagulls will thank you for it) as a Sand Mermaid.
- Materials
-
- Various types of birdseed (like thistle, corn, sunflower and safflower) or if at the beach, breadcrumbs.
- Cups
- Pine boughs (again, if you are at the beach, substitute with seaweed and shells...can even make it into a sand mermaid!)
- Instructions
-
- This angel is easiest made by a team: One partner lies down to make a snow angel while the other partner stands by to help the maker get up without messing up the imprint.
- After the imprint is formed, pour cups of birdseed into the angel, filling the head and body with bands of variously colored seed.
- For a finishing touch, add pine boughs for the angel's spreading wings.
