Directions
Start by downloading the snowman snow globe template, print it out and cut the pieces you’ll need.

Hand your kids some crayons or markers to decorate the snowman’s carrot nose, and add a little blush to the cheeks.

Once that’s done, glue the snowman right in the middle of the snow globe ball.

Next, help your child glue the snowman’s hat on top of its head.

Add the scarf—just position it below the top snowball and glue it down securely.

Now, let’s build the snow globe’s base. Glue the plaque to the center of the base, and use a marker to write a fun message or name on it.

Attach the completed base to the bottom of the snow globe bulb.

Finally, add some sparkle! Stick snowflake stickers all around the snow globe for a magical finishing touch.

Isn’t this such a simple and fun winter craft for kids?!
