On days when the weather is a bit too frightful to play outside, a festive craft is just the thing to entertain the kiddos at home. Mix up a few cups of hot cocoa, turn on the holiday tunes, and sit down as a family to make this easy wintertime craft. Once finished, the snowmen can be hung as ornaments on the tree, serve as seasonal decor, or be used as cute embellishments for holiday gift wrap.
