A fun soft Winter craft idea which enables little kids to make their own cotton ball igloo

Materials

  • Cotton balls
  • Glue
  • Paper
  • Marker, or pencil

Instructions

    Step #1:

Take about 15 of your cotton balls and cut them in half. Make sure the cut is along the same was as the grain so you have flat pieces.

Step #2:

Draw out your igloo outline. Fill half of it with glue, then stack your cotton balls in three rows.

Repeat this for the other half. Make sure not to put any blocks on your door area.

Step #3:

For this part you will use some cotton balls that are NOT cut in half. Glue these around the border of your door.

This way they will stand out further than the walls of your igloo - giving a three dimensional affect.

Step #4:

Take 4-5 cotton balls and stretch them apart so they are stringy.

Step #5:

Glue these stringy pieces of cotton balls across the bottom of your igloo, as the ground.
