This Snowman Craft is a great activity for older pre-schoolers up to about 7 or 8 years of age.
- Thin white cardboard, compass
- Scissors, glue, cotton wool balls,
- Red and black paint
- Red ribbon for scarf
- Yellow paper or thin cardboard for hat.
Using your compass, draw 2 circles on white cardboard, one approximately 11cm diameter for the head, and the other approximately 17cm diameter for the body.
Cut them out and overlap them slightly, gluing them together.
Cover the head and body of the snowman in cotton wool. Add the scarf. I actually stapled the scarf in place as I couldn’t get it to stay there on its own.
Paint cotton wool balls with black paint for eyes and buttons.
Use another cotton wool ball and pull into the shape of a mouth and paint red.
Finish him off by adding his hat. His hat is made up of two pieces of card, the top one is rectangle and the brim of the hat has a slit in it to allow the top piece to slide into.
