Make Your Own Glow-in-the-Dark Snowman at Home

Here’s a fun, safe, and easy way to make a glow-in-the-dark snowman at home—perfect for winter crafts or a night-time decoration! ❄️✨

Glow-in-the-Dark Snowman Craft

🧪 Materials

• Glow-in-the-dark paint or powder (non-toxic)

• White air-dry clay or salt dough

• Small buttons, beads, or tiny stones (for eyes and buttons)

• Orange clay or paper (for carrot nose)

• Toothpick or small sculpting tool

• Bowl of water (for smoothing clay)

• Optional: black marker for extra details

Step 1: Make the Snowman Base

1. Take your clay or dough and roll it into three balls: small, medium, and large.

   • Large = bottom

   • Medium = middle

   • Small = head

2. Stack the balls on top of each other to form the classic snowman shape.

3. Press gently to attach them securely.

Step 2: Add Features

1. Use buttons, beads, or small stones for the eyes and front buttons.

2. Shape a small piece of orange clay into a carrot nose and attach it to the face.

3. Use a toothpick or sculpting tool to carve a smile or other facial details.

Step 3: Apply Glow-in-the-Dark Paint

1. Paint the entire snowman or just parts (like the body, scarf, or hat) with glow-in-the-dark paint.

2. Let it dry completely (usually a few hours).

3. Optional: Add extra layers for a brighter glow.

Step 4: Charge and Display

1. Place your snowman under a bright light for 10–15 minutes to “charge” the glow.

2. Turn off the lights and watch your snowman glow magically in the dark!

Step 5: Optional Decorations

• Add a tiny scarf or hat from fabric scraps.

• Sprinkle glitter or fake snow for extra sparkle.

• Create a small snowy scene with other clay snowmen or trees.

Safety Tips

• Use non-toxic, kid-friendly paint and clay.

• Avoid putting small beads or buttons in your mouth.

• Adult supervision is recommended for young kids.
