Model of Igloo is one of the commonly given projects for the primary class students in their curriculum as a part of PBL (Project-Based Learning). Making a model of Igloo is very easy as it doesn't involve many colours except for white cotton. And it doesn't involve too much of purchases.
Take a rectangular piece of cardboard from a waste / unused cardboard box and either paint it with white acrylic / poster color or stick a blank white paper on it. If you have enough cotton balls, then no need to paint or stick white paper on the cardboard. Normally I do not encourage the use of thermocole as it non-biodegradable. However, if you don't have any other option, then you can go for thermocole.
Stick popsicles (ice cream sticks) on the four edges of the cardboard as a border / boundary wall and paint it white. Take a round / dome shaped disposable paper bowl and place it inverted (upside down) in one corner of the cardboard. In the above model, I took a coconut shell (which doesn't cost anything) for making igloo.
Stick the inverted bowl / coconut shell on the cardboard with glue. Then apply glue on the entire dome-shaped surface of the inverted bowl / coconut shell and thinly spread cotton on it to give a look of snow. Make a small projected entrance with a small cardboard box and thinly spread cotton on it. Draw rectangular boxes on the dome shape of the igloo with a black marker pen as seen in the above pic.
In a similar way, apply glue on the entire surface of the cardboard and thinly spread cotton on it which gives the look of a snow covered surface. Once you are done with spreading / sticking cotton, place a small reindeer and coniferous trees if you have, otherwise no problem. Placing reindeer and Christmas tree gives a natural snowy look.
I bought the small reindeer and the Christmas tree which you see in the above pic, in King of Prussia Mall in Philadelphia. And then you can place a small doll and drape it with thin cotton. Place the doll i.e. the Inuit beside the Igloo. Your model of Igloo is done.
