Easy snowman craft with lights

Using recycled glass jars (pickles or salsa), white tempera paint, orange and black paint, two fuzzy socks, and some buttons, my preschool children had a blast making this craft.

I gave them sponges to paint to the outside.  After, I heated the jars in the oven at 175 degrees for a quick dry.  I painted the faces.  Then I cut the socks in half.  I used ribbon or bread ties to bunch up the hats to make a cute pom pom look on top. 

You can use short Christmas light strings or battery operated tea lights to illuminate.

These friendly snowmen can warm up a guest bathroom or  light up a child's room through a cold winter's night.
