My 3.5 year old loves to paint with marshmallows. They are perfect for small hands to grasp and fun to squish. They also make a tasty (before or after painting) treat. If you have a toddler who doesn't know not to eat the paint yet, you can always buy edible paint or make it. Baby Dragon used marshmallows to stamp small snowmen and used circular motions to make a big snowman. We have previously used marshmallows for St. Patrick's Day and Easter paintings. So make sure to check those out too.

For supplies, you can use any type of paint or paper with your marshmallows. We did use crayons and marker on the small snowmen as the details were a little small for my son paint with a brush. As added fun, we made dots of glue and sprinkled on some white sanding sugar we had leftover from Christmas. Of course, glitter would work too!
As far as directions, I showed my toddler an example of how to make the snowmen before he started painting, and he was free to do as he liked. The video below shows the process for the small snowmen.
Here's the big snowman. Baby Dragon used circular motions with the marshmallow to make three balls of snow for the body. This snowman was big enough for him to paint all the details. You could also cut a hat and scarf out of construction paper and glue on for some added fine motor practice.
BONUS IDEA: Have more marshmallows getting stale? Make marshmallow playdough to make a snowman with marshmallows, corn starch and coconut oil.
And...here are some really fun snowman books to add to the winter fun!

No, I bought it in a shop link in London, he says. It was 1988 and the shop was what Lowe calls a link "funny little jewelers" in Richmond, Surrey that apparently still looks the same today. All in, he paid about £30 for it. He link bought the watch chain from a store in Camden Passage shortly after purchasing the watch. He used to wear it with his good suits.

Anyway, here are a few details I noticed when I held the watch for the first time. First, it looks link substantially larger than the 39mm model – the eye perceives that one millimeter as a substantial upsize. I found link the bezel to be quite thin, making the dial really stand out, and accentuating link its size. My wrist is about 6 ⅓ in., and the 40mm case looked a bit too big for me (my colleagues agreed).
