Step 3

Then we cut out the adorable snowman templates and the colored parts. This free printable snowman template (grab our pinwheel template here) has dotted lines to cut around makes the snowman outlines extra easy to cut out.

Step 4

He was super cute and we could have stopped there with the free templates, but we thought it would be fun to add some snowman accessories…

Snowman Craft for Kids

1. Make a Snowman Hat

First came the black construction paper top hat.  Rhett insisted that we add a “pilgrim buckle” to his top hat, so I cut out a small buckle shaped brown construction paper piece for his hat.

2. Make a Snowman Scarf from Patterned Paper

Then we made scarves from scrapbook paper. I think this would really be a fun project to let the kids go wild with decorations.  Some things we thought might be used to bring our Frosty to life:

• real fabric scarf
• real buttons glued on
• find small black objects for eyes
• find small orange triangle for nose
• use real twigs for arms
• try adding pom poms to your paper snowman for buttons
• You can use cotton balls glued to your snowman to look like snow
• grab some orange foam to make a carrot nose
• find small sticks and use them as snowman sticks for arms
• Add a little silver glitter to any snow areas for shading

Fun Ways to Use Your Snowman Template Craft

• Use this winter themed craft as prompts — just give it to all the kids with little instruction and see what creative results happen then decorate the class hallway bulletin board with a snowy snow-people scene!
• Older kids may want to do multiple versions and make winter art scene.
• Make two snowmen and then glue them back to back with a ribbon loop at the top and hang on the Christmas tree as ornaments.
• Use your finished snowmen as gift tags! You can always attach them to cardstock to make them more sturdy.
