Winter is here. Since you are going to spend more time indoors, this winter craft will help you to engage kids creatively.

Using the free snowman cutout printable, kids can easily make this snowman using some cotton balls and glue.

    Cut all the parts of the snowman out from the template. You can make up to three snowmen using this template.

    First, take the body parts of the snowman – the two circles.

    Apply glue on them and stick the cotton balls to the circles.

    Now, take the other body parts and stick them one by one as shown in the picture above.

    Step 3: Making the stand for snowman

    Next, we are going to make a stand for the snowman so that it can stand on its own.

    Take a rectangular piece of paper as shown in the figure. The size of the paper we took is 15cm * 8cm.

    Fold the paper in half and apply glue on the edges. Now, stick one edge to the other.

    Now, we fold the paper again in half. And apply glue to the edges (see the fourth picture in the collage above).

    After applying the glue, stick both the edges together.

    And fold the paper again in half (as seen in the bottom left image in the collage). And apply glue again and stick them together.

    So, in order to make the stand for the snowman, we folded the paper three times altogether.

    Let’s move on to the folding part now.

    As shown in the first picture in the above collage, mark 1 cm on the paper. And make a mark at 6 cm too. Fold the paper on both the points – at 1 cm and 6 cm. Fold the paper at 1 cm mark at the opposite end too.

    So, now the paper is folded at the 1 cm mark on both the ends and in between at the 6 cm mark.

    Apply glue on the outer portion of the folded ends. And stick it to the backside of the snowman as shown in the picture above.

    Thus, the snowman is ready! You can see that it can stand on its own too!
