Toddlers make snowmen inside Round Lake library

While rain and a blustery wind wailed outside Tuesday, toddlers made snowmen inside at the Round Lake Area Public Library.

The youngsters and their parents and grandparents worked on snow crafts during Toddler Art. Their work included painting snowmen with marshmallows, painting snowflakes with brushes and creating snowman heads with shaving cream and plastic bags.

"Today, we did a snow theme with three crafts. The class provides sensory activities for this age, between 1 and 2, and have them interact with other kids," said Denise Zajkowski, youth services librarian assistant. "They have a good time and learn at the same time."

At one table, toddlers took turns dipping marshmallows in white paint and dabbing snowmen. At another table, toddlers filled plastic bags with shaving cream and fashioned eyes, a mouth and carrot nose to create a snowman faces.
