Directions
Start by printing the template. Once the template is printed, gather the materials for this fun activity. Get those scissors ready, and let’s help the kids bring this popcorn snowman to life!
Look for the head piece and grab an orange marker. Color in the carrot nose right in the center of the face.
Find the popcorn for head piece and glue it to the top of the snowman’s head. Press it down gently so it sticks well. Look how fluffy it already looks!
Take the black hat piece and glue it on top of the popcorn hair. You can tilt it slightly if you want to give your snowman a little personality.
Let’s build the popcorn box. Grab the red body piece and the white bucket stripes. Glue the stripes vertically onto the body to create that classic popcorn box look.
Find the yellow popcorn for body piece and glue it along the top edge of the popcorn box. This makes it look like the box is overflowing with popcorn and really brings the disguise together.
Take the popcorn sign and glue it right in the center of the popcorn box. Press it down firmly and take a second to admire how official it looks.
Add glue to the bottom of the completed snowman head and attach it behind the popcorn top so the snowman looks like it’s popping out of the box.
Find the arms pieces and glue one on each side of the popcorn box. You can angle them up or out to make it look like your snowman is waving hello.
Once finished, this popcorn snowman disguise craft makes an adorable winter project kids will be proud to show off! Be sure to check out some of our other winter crafts for kids for more fun seasonal ideas to try next.
