Art Club: The Kindergarten & 1st Grade Snowmen

Oh my goodness. The Kindergarten & 1st Grade students truly have my heart! ❤️

We took a project that the older students did a few weeks ago, and did a simpler version of it today.

Hearing their giggles when I told them to imagine what it would be like to be fall down in the snow and look up to find four snowmen looking down at them was so cute. ☺️

I loved seeing their creativity and how their eyes lit up when they learned how to draw hats, scarves and carrot noses.

Maybe they will get a chance to create REAL snowmen in the coming days or weeks!?!☃️

Hopefully, your children brought their artwork home today! Many of them were very excited to show off their snowmen off to their family.
