This Easy Snowman Craft and Song For Winter Fun is an awesome way to add art, music, reading, and basic math to your learning fun. I created these activities to enjoy with my boys and I hope you enjoy them with your children, too.
I have found that it’s 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.
Easy Snowman Craft for Kids
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:
- scissors
- pencil
- hole punch
- black marker
- two different sized glasses or lids to trace for circles
- cardstock (substitutes: construction paper or cardboard)
- glitter washi tape (substitute: glitter and glue)
- pipe cleaners
- small jingle bells
- large craft sticks
- On white cardstock, trace and cut out one large and one small circle.
- Cut out hat on black or other color cardstock.
- Glue the large circle onto a craft stick. Glue small circle at top of the large circle.
- Glue hat onto the top of the small circle.
Use the hole punch for two holes in the center of the hat.
Cut the 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.
Select and add a glitter washi tape to use for a scarf.
Cut orange washi tape into a small rectangle for snowman nose.
Add eyes, smile, and buttons with black marker.
