Looking for a fun and easy winter craft to keep little hands busy? These adorable melted paper plate snowmen are so simple to make and are sure to bring a few giggles along the way!
Made using paper plates, coloured paper and a few basic craft supplies, these cheeky little snowmen have a fun surprise! Their heads are attached to their bodies with a folded paper spring, so they can wiggle and jiggle about when you give them a little tap.
They're a lovely winter craft for kids of all ages, perfect for getting creative, practising fine motor skills and enjoying a little snowy fun without having to venture out into the cold!
Here's what we used
How to make our wobbly paper plate snowman craft
To give the snowman that melted look, take a pair of scissors and trim around the edge of the paper plate to create a wavy pattern.
Cut out a circle for the snowman's face (we cut ours from a second plate), then make a spring so that it can be attached. To make the spring all you need to do is cut out two equal strips of paper and glue them at a right angle. Take turns folding one strip over the other and once you reach the end glue the two loose ends together.
Give the snowman a face by gluing on two round eyes, a mouth and a carrot shaped nose.
Glue one end of the spring to the center of the paper plate and then the snowman head to the remaining end. Cut out two twiggy arms and glue one either side of the snowman's head.
Finish off the adorable plate snowman by adding any extra melted decorations; we added a top hat, some buttons and some mittens. Leave to dry and your snowman is finished!
