Winter is here and I wanted to share a quick craft you can make with your kids. A Snowman!! Or Snow Girl in this case! What better craft to do with the kids while it’s freezing outside. We haven’t had any snow yet here in NC, so I thought we would make our own Snowman! Fingers crossed we get some snow soon!

For this craft you’re going to need:

SUPPLIES

Foam Balls
Foam Connector
Metal Fasteners
Paint
Pipe Cleaners
Pom Pom Balls
Cardstock
Paper Straws
Felt
Hot Glue

Step 1 – Create Body

For the body I used two size foam balls. I cut a flat spot on the bottom ball so that our snowman could sit properly.

I connected the foam balls with a foam connector. It worked perfectly!

Step 2 – Add Face and Buttons

Now that we have our body together, now let’s add our face and buttons. For this snowman I used metal fasteners, they are so easy to just push right into the foam. Once I added them, I just painted on my colors!

Step 3 – Make Earmuffs

Time to make our earmuffs!

I found two pipe cleaners and twisted them together, then cut to fit the size of our snowman’s head. Then I hot glued my pom pom balls on the sides. Next I hot glued our cute little earmuffs on the head.

Finishing Touches

To finished off our snowman, I cut a paper straw for the arms and drew out my mittens on cardstock. Then used some orange felt for the nose.

Add a fun decorative scarf with some felt too! Then your finished!

I really like the idea of making a snow girl! With three boys I rarely get to work on “girly” crafts. So I was excited. This is a perfect craft to keep your little one’s busy on those cold winter days. You can get as creative as you want with your snowman!

Keep warm!!
