Many years ago one of my girls made one of these creamer bottle snowmen at school. As soon as the other two saw it they wanted to make some too. Since then it has become a tradition.

They look forward to it each year. I think part of what they look forward to is buying the creamer so we can get the bottles. They like to get flavors that would go well with hot chocolate too. Christmas time is great for this because they come out with so many great flavors that are only out during the holidays.

This is another cheap and easy craft that kids love. If you do any crafts with your kids you will have everything already at the house. Just like making real snowmen you just use whatever you have laying around. The scarf can be made out of felt or yarn. You can then use beads, buttons, or even just cut up construction paper. The arms can be made from pipe cleaners of even just little sticks they find in the yard. The nose can be as simple as just a colored toothpick poked into the bottle.

The creamer bottles that are used to make these snowmen are the flavored kind that you buy in the refrigerated section at the store. I am sure you have never noticed before but the red pour top on the bottle looks just like a winter hat so it is perfect. All you need to do is take off the label and wash them out. If you will be displaying them in a high traffic area you may want to put a few pennies or water in the bottles to hold them down.
