Nanny Anita’s Snowman Ornaments

You will need:

  • White, orange and black foam
  • 3 circles of various sizes to draw around
  • Buttons
  • Glue
  • Craft wire
  • Ribbons
  • Felt tip pens

For each snowman you will need 6 circles, 2 of each size, cut out from the white foam.

Lie out one set of the white circles going from biggest to smallest. Make sure there is a small gap between each circle. Glue the craft wire to the circles making sure that it goes through each circle and that there is a loop at the top to hang the decoration.

Glue the other circles on top. I used a glue gun to do this but any glue should do.

For the nose and hat (optional) cut them out of the foam and stick them on.

For the face, let the children make their own using felt tip pens.

Add the buttons and finally with the ribbon of their choice, tie it around the craft wire between the the first two circles.

By far my favourite decorations ever! Depending on which way you look at it, it is either sad or really mad.

Heelys Rolls Into Spring With New Collection

Heelys, the original two-in-one wheely shoe launched in 2000, is preparing for the upcoming Easter holidays with its new spring collection. Ideal for encouraging an active, healthy lifestyle, the stylish designs will ensure kids (big and small) will roll through the holidays with ease.

The collection consists of 19 designs, including three brand new Heelys shapes: Reserve Ex, Reserve Low and Pro 20 Half Flood. The Reserve Ex has a basketball shoe style, while the Reserve Low and Pro 20 Half Flood tap into the current Y2K trend for an extra chunky sole.

Match your Heelys to your mood, with designs split across two main aesthetics – a darker colour scheme vs. a lighter, spring-inspired palette. Think camouflage print, graffiti text and paint drips contrasting with pastel colours, tie-dye, metallic laces, foil and rainbow print.

Available in the UK and Europe on the Heelys website and retailers, the collection is available in sizes C12-7 across single or two-wheeled styles. RRPs range from £49.99 to £69.99.
