How to make this Winter Wonderland Craft?
To begin, drizzle liquid glue all over the plate, making sure to cover it evenly. Then, gather cut-up tissue paper and pretty iridescent fluff to sprinkle all over the glue. These materials will serve as the base for the winter scene.
Next, add the marshmallows all over the fluff to mimic fake snow. Children can get creative and arrange them in any way they like. Whether they want to make a snowman or a snow-covered tree, the possibilities are endless.
The final step is to sprinkle glitter of your favorite colors all over the mixture and let it dry. Once it’s dry, the winter wonderland will sparkle and shine, and it can be hung up or placed on display for everyone to admire.
Winter Wonderland Craft Ideas
When you are making the craft, you can create a collage all over (they might need some glue to stay put) or you can stand them up, like pretty snowmen, Christmas trees, and gingerbread men on the Winter wonderland snow.
Just get creative and let your imagination flow! If you want to make this craft even more special, you can decorate the marshmallows!
Check out how we did just that in THIS POST! They are super cute and perfect for practicing fine motor skills.
Don’t these look adorable? These are Winter paper plate crafts that toddlers can make. Our little one-year old neighbor even shook the glitter bottle to sprinkle his project! It take coordination practice and creativity.
We hope you decide to try to make some pretty ones like these!
