At our monthly Mentor Feedback Luncheon
each December, we give our mentors a “party favor”. This year’s was a
sock snowman hand-made for each of our mentors by our staff during our staff
Christmas brunch.
Attached to
each snowman was a tag that read, “Snowbody’s a Mentor Like You”.
The
snowmen are simple to make and each one is unique just like our PAL
mentors. Simply take a white sock (women’s crew work well) and snip off
the toe portion plus about ½ inch or so. Then knot the open end you just
created and turn the sock inside out. Fill about 2/3 of the sock with
rice and wind a rubber band around to create the belly of the snowman.
Continue filling the sock with rice and put a rubber band around the top to
close and form the head. Place the snipped off toe portion onto the head
to cover the rubber band and hot glue it in place. Tie a strip of bright
cloth around the neck as a scarf and make a nose, eyes and chest buttons out of
pompoms or buttons hot glued in place (or get more creative).
