Wintertime is a perfect time to create fun arts and crafts with children. How about some fun and easy igloo art ideas to keep children entertained and happy. Learn about igloos, support creativity, and practice fine motor skills. Most of the supplies you will find around your house or a quick trip to a dollar store might be worthwhile to create your charming igloos.

Marshmallow Igloo

Supplies: empty plastic water or milk bottle or small-recycled container (i.e. cereal, butter, cream cheese), butter or plastic knife, white frosting, and marshmallows

Instructions:

1. Cut out an igloo opening in the recycled container.
2. Use white frosting as glue and spread it all over the container.
3. Arrange the marshmallows on the sticky container to make an igloo.

Tip: Place an aluminum foil on the cookie sheet, sprinkle powdered sugar or flour to make a winter village. Build a marshmallow fence, and play with figurines or animals.  Paper bowls are also excellent for igloo making, especially for a group of children.

Duplo & Sponge Dip & Paint Igloo Art

Supplies: paper, white paint, scissors, glue, Duplo pieces, dish sponge cut into small squares and a q-tip.

Instructions:

1. Draw an igloo semi-circle and cut it out.
2. Glue the igloo to the paper.
3. Dip Duplo in white paint and stamp igloo to create ice blocks.
4. Use small square sponges to dip in white paint and stamp the bottom of the paper for snow.
