Easy Snowman Craft & Song For Winter Fun
This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure statement. Thanks for visiting!
I have found that it is helpful to have a few easy and fun activities to do with my little ones during the winter months. It can get very cold here in Western Pennsylvania and unsafe to play outdoors for too long. Hands-on crafts and storytimes are great ways to keep your kids engaged and have some learning fun, too.
This Easy Snowman Craft & Song For Winter Fun is an awesome way to add art, music, reading, and basic math to your family learning fun. I created this free printable Learning Fun With Snowmen pack to help us include these activities.

You probably have most, if not all, of these supplies in your craft supplies. The jingle bells add a musical touch to your craft. Kids love to use while singing songs and practicing beats. Suggested materials for this snowman craft include:

Punch two holes into the snowman's hat. - Use hole punch for two holes in the center of hat.
Add jingle bell to the pipe cleaner and insert into holes. - Cut pipe cleaner into 2" strips. Add jingle bell (or two) and position into the center of pipe cleaner. Insert ends of the pipe cleaner into holes and twist. Cut off excess pipe cleaner.
