Directions

Start by downloading the template and printing it out. Once the template is printed, gather the materials for this fun activity. Get those scissors ready, and let’s help the kids bring the snowman to life!

First, guide your child to glue the orange carrot nose to the middle of the snowman’s head, just above the mouth.

Place the eyes on both sides of the nose and glue them in place.

Next, help your child to take the hat and glue it to the top of the snowman’s head.

Position the snowman’s head on top of the body and glue it together.

Glue the main part of the scarf to the neck area of the snowman.

Finally, encourage your child to trace your child’s hand onto the same color piece of paper as the scarf and cut it out. Glue the handprint to one end of the scarf.

Winter Ideas For Kids

Once you’ve made this handprint snowman ornament, keep the fun going with some more winter season crafts and activities!

This time of year is the perfect time to do indoor activities with the kids. If you’re stuck inside, it’s a great way to keep them busy learning and entertained!

We have a bunch of craft activities to choose from, so keep reading below for more ideas to try with your kids this winter!

Winter Books For Kids

When you read aloud to your kids, you are not only building their literacy skills but also teaching them how to listen and pay attention.

In today’s fast-paced world, the ability to sit still and listen to a story is becoming increasingly rare. By reading aloud to your kids, you are helping them to develop the concentration and focus they will need in order to be successful in school and in life.

In addition, when you read together, you are providing a bonding experience that will help to build a strong emotional connection between you and your child. So not only is reading aloud good for your kids’ brains, but it’s also good for their hearts!

Winter Crafts For Kids

Crafting is so much more than creating. It’s a beneficial learning tool to teach kids how to follow instructions, hone their gross and fine motor skills, use scissors, and much more.

Kids gain confidence and pride in their work when they complete a project. Sometimes to make the craft work just right, they even use their critical thinking skills and patience.

While kids are having fun being creative, all these other benefits are happening at the same time!
