Create a snowy self-portrait that doubles as a tasty treat for animals who might stop by to admire and sample your work.
Tips
Younger kids may find it easier to work with fewer
materials and to use cups or small pitchers (instead of their
hands) to pour lines of seed. Remember to have the artists sign
their initials somewhere, too!
