This cheerful snowman makes a cute bookmark.  Children could make these as gifts.

You will need:

• a popsicle stick
• white paint
• black pen
• scraps of black and orange paper
• piece of thin ribbon, string, or felt
• glue

Paint the stick white and leave it to dry.

Use the black pen to draw on eyes, mouth, and buttons. 

Cut out a hat out of black paper and a carrot nose from orange paper.  Glue them on. 

Finally, tie a piece of ribbon around the stick as a scarf and secure it in place with a small amount of glue.  You may want to write the year on the back of the stick and encourage the child to sign his or her name.
