Sew Many Snowmen!

I was looking for a "service" type project to do with my 9 year old daughters class and found these easy snowmen hats in Family Fun Magazine.  I have a notebook that I have compiled over many years of my favorite project for kids from this magazine and pulled this out of the archives.  Jennies teacher was very excited about it and graciously agreed to extend our project time over the course of two days.  She and some other moms help me cut them out, I sewed and the kids did the decorating.  We made a total of 65 hats...one to keep, one to give away and of course 3 for the principal's kids.    I had our church's Girls Club make scarves to match, we packaged them up real pretty and delivered them to a local shelter.  It was a complete success!  The kids made a fantastic hat for themselves while experiencing the joy of giving to others.
