Winter is one of the best times to craft with the kids, especially on extra cold days when you’re stuck inside! This snowman headband craft is a fun and easy activity that’s perfect for young kids.

We love doing winter crafts for kids, but this one is our new favorite!

It’s super easy to make so it’s perfect for toddlers, preschoolers, and kindergarten children.

All you need to do is print out the template and get crafting! And, if your kiddo doesn’t want to make this as a craft, you can also print it out in black and white and let them color it instead.

Be sure to watch our quick video tutorial to see exactly how to make this fun headband craft.
