We love doing headband crafts, but this one is our new favorite!

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

All you need to do is print out the template and get crafting! 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.

Supplies

• Colored cardstock or construction paper
• Glue
• Scissors
• Tape or stapler
• Snowman template (unlock the free template at the end of the post)

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 this snowman to life!

First, guide your child to glue the snowman’s eyes in the middle of the head section of the headband.

Next, help your child place the carrot nose in between the eyes and glue it in place.

Position the cheeks slightly on top of the lower part of the eye and glue them down.

Assemble the snowman’s mouth by gluing the tongue to the mouth. Use the scissors to trim off any excess paper. Glue the completed mouth just below the carrot nose.

Finish off the snowman by gluing his top hat to either side of his head.

Complete the headband by taping or stapling a headband extender to both ends of the headband base.
