Supplies:

  • 1 Sheet Blue Construction Paper: For base
  • White construction paper: cut in wave for snow base
  • Orange Construction paper: cut in triangle for nose
  • Black construction paper: hole punch for eyes and buttons, trace hat shape and cut out
  • Brown Construction Paper: Cut 2 twig arms per snowman
  • Several Cotton Balls
  • Optional: Sparkly fake snow for sky decoration, or snowflake stickers, or just draw them on with markers!
  • Glue

Instructions:

I traced 3 circles onto the blue construction paper so the kids would know where to glue the cotton balls. Next they glued on the snowy landscape, and then started in with cotton balls to fill up the drawn circles.

Next they added the nose, eyes, and hat to finish off their snowmen. Finally, they dabbed on some extra glue dots and added some fake snow to the background just for effect.

After making the snowmen, we read the Snowman Trinity Poem from Spell Out Loud!
