Steps:
Start by tracing and cutting out three different sized circles on a piece of construction paper. The color of the paper for this does not matter, these circles will act as a barrier for the paint and will be thrown out after.
Using masking tape loops, attach the three circles to the white paper in the shape of your snowman.
Now it’s time to start painting! Dip one finger into the paint and start making thumbprints or fingerprints. Be sure to do fingerprints all along the edge of the shape first. This will make the outline of the snowman show up. If you prefer to avoid messy hands or have a kiddo who isn’t a fan of painted fingers, q-tips work great for this too.
Once the outline is painted, you can continue to fill the remaining white paper with painted fingerprints. I like to use a variety of blues and the white so it looks like snow falling.
Allow your paint to dry for a little while before removing the paper circles. When removing be sure not to rip the white paper underneath.
To finish your snowman, use the other construction paper colors to cut out decorations such as coal eyes/buttons and a carrot nose.
