3D Snowman
Has it snowed where you live yet? It’s getting pretty cold! If there happens to be no snow or if it’s way too cold to go outside you can make a really “cool” snowman inside the house. To make this snowman you have to cut out lots of circles and then attach them in a special way that makes the snowman 3D!

Colorful Turkey Glove
Here is a fun way to make a
turkey out of the shape of a hand without having to put messy paint all over
your fingers. All you need is a clear rubber glove, some cereal, and just a few
other things. Yes, you use cereal!

Pipe Cleaner Chameleon
Have you ever wanted a pet lizard but nobody will let you get one? You can make a really snazzy looking chameleon out of pipe cleaners and your parents will love this one! It can’t get out of it’s cage, make a mess, and hide under the couch! Plus, this one does not eat bugs!!
Even though this chameleon can’t change awesome colors, it still would look cool in your room hanging onto a picture frame or on a stick on your windowsill. Click the link for a full tutorial on how to make your own Pipe Cleaner Chameleon:
