Art Project Tutorial:
Step 1
Show children photos of Inuit snow goggles. Ask them to compare them to the types of goggles they have seen or even used before.
Print out the snow goggle template and cut a piece of felt to match
Hold the felt up to your child's head and mark where you will need to cut the slits for them to see. Use sharp scissors to cut.
Measure the size of the child's head, and tie your string on either end of the goggles.
Decorate! These look really neat just plain too, but we look for any excuse to break out the puffy paint!
All Done!
Let your snow goggles dry, and then gear up for some igloo fort making fun! These are wonderful for pretend play.
