Martha Stewart Living, Holiday 2006
Put these together assembly-line style, and you'll have one for every kid in class.
Snowman Pencils How-To:
Make one of two 1-inch Styrofoam balls a bit smaller by pressing uniformly on a flat surface. Push pencil eraser into big ball by 1/4 inch; remove, coat with white glue; reinsert. Glue on head. Brush with glue; spoon on glitter; let dry. Glue on orange felt nose and black seed beads for eyes. Let dry 30 minutes. Tie on ribbon scarf.
White glue did not work to hold the head and body together. In stead I used a half of a tooth pick inserted from the bottom after making the whole for the pencil/pen. This is very delicate work with seed beads.
Another fun stocking stuffer is the TickleMe Plant Party Favor. In it we were able to grow a real house plant that Moves and closes its leaves when Tickled. http://ticklemeplant.com
