Snowman Template
Keep warm inside and enjoy some easy winter art ideas with this snowman template!
I love this printable snowman template and it’s one that I’ve used to make a lot of crafts with. You can find the details to the tutorials for all of these below as well as more idea for ways that you can use this.
It would also be great to use for a classroom display, you could print off a copy for each pupil and get them to design their own snowman, all you’d need for this is some pens to add features like buttons and coal eyes but it might also be fun to grab some little sticks to glue on as the snowman’s arms.

What Paper Should I Use For Making Snowman Crafts?
As a good rule of thumb if you’re using using white paint or paper to colour your snowman then you’ll want to print it onto coloured paper to make sure that it shows.
Blue paper is normally best for this as it gives that wintery feel where as black (while looking great with white!) won’t show the outline of your template.
If you are using this template to make resist art then white paper is perfect and white paper is great too if you just want to design your own snowman.
Snowman Craft and Activity Ideas
Snowman crafts are really easy to make for kids because after all, if a bit of ‘snow’ goes amiss then it’s just like snow, right? You never can tell exactly where each flake will land!
Play dough mat Print the template onto white paper (you can laminate it if you wish) and use it as a playdough mat. Use your playdough to ‘colour in’ the snowman’s hat and make his eyes, nose and mouth. How about adding a scarf or some buttons? You could make the arms out of playdough or use sticks for them.
Mosaic Use this template to make our snowman mosaic craft, just add black paper for the top hat.
Cotton ball snowman You could use this as a snowman template for cotton balls. Simply cover the main part of the snowman’s body with glue and use cotton balls to cover this, making a fun three dimensional craft.
Pom pom painting Grab some pom poms and use this template as an outline to make our pom pom painted snowman. You could try this with cotton balls too if you have some left over!
Finger painting Use finger painting to colour in your snowman.
Cotton bud painting Our cotton bud painted snowman craft was made using this template.
Design your own snowman Use this template as a drawing or painting prompt. Sometimes the easiest ideas are the ones that have worked best with my kids so just print this off and hand it over with a load of pens and see how your child decorates it.

My Sunday School class made the snowflake mosaic on Sunday. They were a hit and turned out beautiful. We did them in blue, light blue and white. I mounted them on a darker blue to take home. Beautiful. Thanks you!
They sound lovely!
