Find the helmet stripe and glue it straight down the center of the helmet. Press it gently so it sticks nice and flat.

Now grab the snowman face piece. Add glue to the back and glue it in near the bottom and center of the helmet.

Time to add some color! Grab an orange marker and color in the carrot nose between the eyes.

Next, glue the jersey onto the top half of the snowman’s body.

Pin

Take the shoulder pads and glue one onto each side of the jersey near the sleeves. This step really makes it look like a football uniform, and kids usually love seeing it come together here.

It is time to connect the head and body. Add glue to the bottom of the helmet and glue it right on top of the jersey.

Let’s give our snowman some arms! Find the arm pieces and glue them to the back and sides of the sleeves so they peek out from under the jersey.

Grab the football and glue it into one of the hands like your snowman is ready for kickoff. Press and hold just a bit so it stays put.
