Intro

This activity is a winter delight as children create their very own snow people! This activity provides excellent fine motor practice, as well as plenty of practice with creative thinking and using recycled materials in a unique way.

Set Up Ideas

Have some wardrobe options on display to inspire the children to create their own. Hats, earmuffs, jackets, buttons, glasses, backpacks and more are all great options.

Let’s Get Started

Gather the following materials: recycled craft rolls, construction paper, glue, scissors, pom poms, ribbon and pipe cleaners. Button, gems and various other collage materials are also great to use in outfitting your snow people.

Steps:

  1. Cut a piece of white construction paper the length of a craft roll.
  2. Glue the cut construction paper around the craft roll and allow to dry
  3. Cut a pipe cleaner to size and glue pom poms to the sides for earmuffs. As the earmuffs
    dry, add wiggly eyes and make a nose with construction paper for the face
  4. Glue on buttons, tie a piece of ribbon around the neck and add any other accessories to
    your snowperson.
