Looking for a fun and easy winter craft to keep little hands busy? These adorable paper snowmen are the perfect way to enjoy a little snowy fun without having to venture out into the cold!
Made using simple paper tubes, coloured paper, ribbons and a few basic craft supplies, these cute little snowmen are surprisingly easy to make. Kids will love giving their snowmen their own personalities by adding colourful scarves, little hats, carrot noses and twiggy arms!
They're a lovely craft for a cosy winter afternoon at home, a Christmas crafting session or even a classroom winter activity. Not only are they great for encouraging creativity and developing fine motor skills, but they also make adorable little winter decorations to display around the house.
So grab your craft supplies, get cosy and let's make some snowmen.
Here’s what we used
- Clean cardboard tp rolls (x2 or 3)
- Paper (white, brown, black and orange)
- Ribbon
- Thick cardboard
- Scissors
- Glue/double sided tape
How to make our cute paper snowman craft
Start by taking your tp roll tubes and cutting them down to three different lengths. A small one for the head, a medium one for the centre of the body and a large one for the base of the body.
Next take one of your tp roll sections and cut out a strip of white paper the same height as the tube and wide enough to wrap around it. Add double sided tape to the edges of the paper and then secure it around the tube.
Repeat the previous step with the remaining two tp sections until your snowman is completely white. Use your double sided tape to attach the three tubes together as above.
Cut out two stick arms and glue them in place inside the middle tube.
Next cut out and glue on your facial features and some buttons. We cut ours from coloured paper and then used our acrylic paint markers to add the details.
Add any other additional decoration such as our foam hat or ribbon scarf. Then finish off your snowman by cutting out a circular shape from your thick card and sticking it to the bottom of the snowman to help it stand. Aren’t they just the sweetest?
