Allison McDonald has been teaching young children in various capacities since 1993. She started as a day camp leader in high school, taught various preschool programs at community centers through university, worked as a tutor while pursuing a second degree in elementary education, and most recently worked as a director and preschool teacher before becoming a full time mom. Now that she is at home she keeps one foot in education while sharing that side of her life with her son and the results have been amazing.
Snow Globe
I love snowmen and am so excited that my 2 year old seems to share
7. Fold the contact paper so it sandwiches the sparkles, seal it. You may have to use some tape to make sure it's sealed and nothing falls out.
13. Staple the face to the belly, I use staples with coated paper plates because glue doesn't always work very well.

Creative Projects
1. Gather your materials. You will need a paper plate, some orange and black construction paper, 2 buttons, some sequins, sparkles, contact paper, scissors, double stick tape, a stapler, and some ribbon. I also used some paint because my son wanted to paint and I like how it looks but you can skip this step if you want. 
2. Have children paint the paper plate, and let dry. If you use a sponge paint brush the paint will go on lightly and dry fast. 
3. While they do that cut out a nose from the orange paper, a hat and some coal for the mouth. 
4. Cut a rectangle of contact paper and fold in half, make sure it's big enough to cover the hole you will be cutting in the plate. 
5. Peel back the contact paper backing and let your child shake the sparkles on it.
6. Add some sequins. 
8. Cut out the middle of the plate. 
9. Add glue to the cutout middle for the coal mouth, nose and hat. Obviously older kids can do this themselves but it gives toddlers a great guide to be independent. 
10. Add the face pieces. 
11. Add the button eyes. 
12. While your child is adding the face pieces, attach the contact paper to the inside of the paper plate ring, I used double stick tape because it holds contact paper well.
