Directions
Start by printing the template. Once the template is printed, gather the materials for this fun activity. Get those scissors ready, and let’s help the kids bring this unicorn snowman to life!
Grab your pink marker and lightly color the inner ear section to add a soft pop of pink.
Find the nose and mouth piece and glue it right in the center of the face, just below the eyes.
Grab your pink marker and lightly color two small circles right under the eyes for cute rosy cheeks. This little detail brings so much personality to your snowman.
Let’s work on the unicorn hair. Take the bangs pieces and glue them together first, stacking them so all the colors show like a rainbow.
Find the pink bangs piece and glue it right on top of the blue and purple layers. Line up the curves so they stack neatly, and gently press them down.
Grab the completed bangs piece and glue it to the top front of the head.
Now, find the bow and glue it on the right ear.
Now let’s build the mane together! Start by gluing the blue mane piece on top of the pink mane piece, lining up the curved edges so they stack neatly.
Take the purple mane piece and glue it right on top of the blue one.
Now, glue the mane onto the unicorn. Add glue to the back of the stacked mane and glue it to the back and side of the unicorn’s head.
Time for the most important unicorn detail! Take the horn piece and glue it right at the top center of the head. This is the moment when your snowman officially transforms into a unicorn!
Find the scarf and glue it around the snowman’s neck. It already looks cozy and ready for winter.
Next, grab the hooves and glue them onto the ends of the arms.
Use your markers, crayons, or pom poms to add two buttons down the center of the snowman’s body. Kids love this part because they can choose their favorite colors and make each snowman unique. That’s it!
