Ball Snowman
Using three different sized balls. (tennis ball, playground ball, basketball) Create a snowman. Use the smallest ball for the head, medium ball for the middle and the largest ball for the bottom. Dip each ball in white paint to make a print on the paper. After the paint is dry add the rest of the details.
