Supplies
- Paper plates
- Colored card stock or construction paper
- Scissors
- Glue stick
- Black marker
- Snowman paper plate template (click the “click here to get your freebies” image at the end of the post)
Directions
Start by downloading the template and printing it out. Once the template is 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 to cut out the snowman’s head from the paper plate by cutting just outside the smallest center circle of the plate.
Cut out the snowman’s body by cutting just inside the line where the ridges end. Place the pink cheeks in the middle of the smaller paper plate, one on each side, and glue in place.
Next, help your child glue the snowman’s carrot nose in the middle of the two cheeks.
Use the black marker to draw eyes and a mouth on the snowman.
Assemble the snowman’s hat by gluing the hat rim to the bottom of the main hat shape.
Place the completed black construction paper top hat on the snowman’s head and glue it in place.
Now, glue the longest piece of the snowman’s scarf about an inch below the top of the larger paper plate. Cut off any excess.
Glue the two circles of black coal just beneath the scarf.
Finish the scarf by gluing the two pieces at an angle to the long piece of scarf.
Cut three small (about 1″ slits) in the top middle of the snowman’s body. This will flatten the top and allow it to lay flat when gluing the two pieces together.
Finally, encourage your child to glue the snowman’s head onto the snowman’s body.
This super simple paper plate snowman craft is easy and fun for kids! We think this fun winter craft is easy enough that you can make it at home, at school, daycare, or the library.

I just checked and it’s there. If you’re unable to see it, it likely means you have a firewall or pop up blocker blocking it from appearing.

The only place I could find out how to get the actual template is in the comments. I think the problem is all the adds before the “enter your email for the template” that everyone scrolls right past out of frustration from all the adds.
Hey Holly! It’s actually just above this under the heading “Snowman Template”. If you have a firewall, sometimes that can block it from showing as well. Hope this helps!

I love the craft ideas, but when it says to download a template, I can not find where to get the template. Very frustrating!
So sorry it isn’t clear Valerie! I try to make it as clear as possible, but it’s hard to put myself in the position of a visitor who’s never seen my blog when I see it all the time. There’s a form at the end of the post where you put your email in. It has the heading “Snowman Template”. Please let me know if you still can’t find it!
