How to Make the Snowman Craft

Each of the crafts on my site is very simple to put together. Many kids can copy a model and complete the activity on their own. Here are some easy steps to get you started.

1. Print the templates onto construction paper and cut them out.
2. Choose which writing template you want to use and glue that to the snowman’s body.
3. Attach the scarf where the neck will be.
4. Add the face with a hat on top.
5. Next, add the facial features (carrot nose, eyes, mouth, etc).
6. Then, glue on the arms.
7. Last, add the little holly berry to the hat and complete your writing piece!

Construction paper colors you will need: black, blue, orange, green, red, brown.

Below, you will find a video tutorial for completing the activity. I love watching a video to show me how to do something, so hopefully, this makes things even easier for you!
