Make a Paper Plate Snowman
Paper plate snowmen are usually the easiest to make because the materials are often those you have in your own home.
Materials:
1. Paper plates
2. Painting supplies (crayons, markers, or paint)
3. Scissors or craft knife
4. Glue or glue gun
5. Construction paper (optional)
Instructions:
1. Draw some snowman features, such as eyes, buttons, and a carrot nose onto a paper plate for the front of your snowman’s face using either crayons or markers (washable ones work best). You can also use paint but since you’re using a paper plate, that probably isn’t an option.
3. Cut out arm shapes from either your paper plate or you can use a colorful piece of construction paper.
4. Next cut some small circles from any leftover material for buttons. Glue them to the front of a second paper plate that will be the bottom half of your snowman in the center.
5. Cut a hat shape out of any colorful paper or material for the hat and glue it on top of the plate. 6. Glue the arms into place.
* You can add a scarf or hat to your snowman if you want, just use the same type of material for it as you did for your other decorations.
Make a Coffee Filter Snowman
Coffee filters are some of the easiest craft materials you can use to make a snowman. Plus, coffee filters are recyclable and inexpensive!
Materials:
1. White Coffee Filters (medium size)
2. Scissors
3. String or yarn
4. Black construction paper
5. Colored construction paper
6. Glue
Instructions:
1. Choose a colored piece of construction paper as your background, like blue for instance. Then glue a coffee filter to the center of your paper.
2. Cut out two black circles for your eyes and glue them onto your snowman’s face (you can use construction paper or just draw them with a marker).
3. Cut out a smaller orange triangle shape for the snowman’s nose and glue it onto the face.
4. Cut out 5 small circles to make the snowman’s mouth and glue them in a smile on his face.
5. Cut out the shape of a hat with black construction paper and glue that to the top of his head. You are now finished!
Optional: You can also use construction paper to make a scarf and glue that to your snowman and draw snowflakes on your background.
