To make this snowman craft start by cutting a spiral shape into your paper plate from the edge towards the middle ensuring that you leave a big gap in the middle for your snowman’s head.
Make a hole in the middle by pushing some scissors through into some playdough and then tie through a piece of yarn with a knot on the end so that you’ll be able to hang this up later.
Next cut your snowman’s head out of white cardstock and then a hat out of black cardstock, sticking the hat on.
Draw on the eyes, mouth and nose and then carefully stick the snowmans head onto the centre part of your paper plate twirler.
Finally cut some stick arms out from brown cardstock and glue these on too. You could also add a scarf or buttons for your snowman if you wanted.
