My kiddos had a blast making these simple sensory snowmen.  No snow needed, just a few simple household items.  This simple Winter Sensory Bin is is perfect for building snowmen even if it never snows where you live.

Happy little snowmen;)

Any guesses on what we used to make our snow?

Melting snowmen.  Everything the kiddos need to build an adorable indoor snowman.

Winter Sensory Bin

• Paper Pulp
• Coffee Beans ~ for eyes, mouth and buttons

We’ve used paper pulp in our Halloween Sensory Bin and it was a huge hit!  Check out our beautiful fall leaf craft and simple fall centerpiece all created with paper pulp.  Who knew that paper pulp could be so versatile.

To make paper pulp

You will need a bunch of shredded paper.  My kids love using the paper shredder and this is a great excuse.  Fill a tub with shredded paper and cover with boiling water.  We let the paper mixture sit over night so that it loosens up the paper fibers.

Working in small batches, add the paper mixture to the blender.  You may need to add extra water to each batch.  How easy is that?  You now have a bin of paper pulp that is perfect for a ton a different projects.  However my kids love just squishing it in a sensory bin.
