An Activity for Preschoolers:
This is a great project for our K – 3 classroom hallways. Each grade level does a different
craft for each season. Our class made snowmen that hang from the ceiling and is twosided.
Before You Begin:
Gather the following: clear contact paper, construction paper in a variety of colors and
scissors. Prior to doing this craft with your class, you will need to cut out two 6-inch
circles from clear contact paper.
Activity Goals:
A double-sided activity that can be scaled for a variety of grade levels. Identify and learn
about shapes while creating this interesting snowperson.
Furthermore:
For younger children, you may choose to cut the shapes for facial features in advance.
Younger children may need help cutting and using the contact paper.
Steps:
- Cut shapes from construction paper to create each snowpalÂ’s features. Cut round black
circles from construction paper for the eyes and mouth, a black hat shape, orange
triangles for the nose and multicolored squares for the scarf. The last scarf square - Peel the protective paper from the contact paper.
- Arrange pieces cut out for the eyes, nose, mouth and scarf onto the sticky side of the
contact paper. - Lay the hat at the top of the contact paper.
