This activity can help kids develop several skills. It uses the small muscles in their hands and fingers as they tear the paper, which promotes fine motor skill development. It also uses both hands in a coordinated way, so their hand movements promote bilateral coordination and dexterity.

Among other skills, it also works on spatial awareness as kids place the ripped paper in specific shapes like our snowman template.

So they’re not just creating a cute torn paper snowman, they’re also enhancing cognitive and fine motor skills in a playful and engaging way. Grab a few simple supplies we have listed below and you and your little ones can have a fun time creating together.

Supplies

• Colored cardstock or construction paper
• Scissors
• Glue
• Markers
• Snowman Template (click the “click here to get this freebie” image at the end to open the form)

Directions

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

First, guide your child in spreading glue over all sections of the body part of the snowman background paper.

Next, encourage your child to tear white paper into small pieces and glue them all over the snowman’s body until you can’t see any of the background paper.

Take the hat and glue it just above the head.

Complete the hat by gluing the band onto the hat.

Glue the eyes to the middle and top of the snowman’s head.

Place the carrot nose just below the center of both eyes and glue it in place.

Glue the buttons just below the neck portion.

Next, help your child to glue the scarf on the neck portion of the snowman.

Finally, use the marker to draw on the snowman’s eyebrows, mouth, and cheeks.

Aren’t these torn-paper snowmen such a cute winter craft for kids?! We think your kiddos will have so much fun creating them!
