[For Kids] DIY Snowman Craft Ideas!

Moving paper cup snowman

[Daycare] Moving! Paper Cup Snowman (Easy with Paper Cups and Straws) | Snow | Early Learning | For Kids | Craft [Kindergarten]

When you hear “a moving snowman,” it might sound a bit challenging, but it’s simpler to make than you’d think.

After you make it, everyone will want to move it and play together.

All you need are a straw and a paper cup.

Here’s the process: draw a snowman on the paper cup; make holes on the sides; then thread a straw—taped together at the bottom as one piece—through the holes.

This straw becomes the snowman’s left and right arms.

When you move the straw up and down, the two sides move accordingly.

Since you’ll need a blade to make the holes, please have an adult help with that part.

Snowman you can make easily

[Winter Craft] Easy and Cute Snowman [Plastic Bag, Tissues, Tape, Rubber Bands] January–March Craft for Nursery School/Kindergarten

Let’s make a cute snowman using the white plastic shopping bags you get at supermarkets and convenience stores.

There’s lots of rolling and crumpling, so even small children should enjoy it.

About one hour in total should be plenty.

The basic idea is to make two spheres by stuffing tissue paper into white plastic bags and then stack them.

If you use a small paper cup as a hat, it really adds to the look.

Make the eyes and mouth out of construction paper to give it an expression.

It’s a perfect snowman to display by your front door.

Snowman made of clay

[How to Make] Winter Motif Snowman with Clay | Clay Art: How to Make a Snowman

When it comes to kids’ favorite activities, that’s right—clay! Here we’ll introduce snowmen made with clay and paper clay.

Let’s start with a flat snowman that could even be used as a wall hanging.

The basics are done just by placing two circles, one large and one small, vertically.

If you mix a little paint into white paper clay, you can make colored clay.

Make eyes, a mouth, a ribbon, and more to decorate your snowman.

For a three-dimensional snowman, simply stack two spheres, one large and one small! Add bells, and use beads, pipe cleaners, or marbles to finish it into a lovely snowman!

A wobbling snowman made from a paper cup

[Craft] I tried making a nodding snowman out of paper cups ⛄️ 🌟 #EasyCraft

Have you seen the bobblehead dolls of pro baseball or NBA players that are common overseas? Lately, you can even find them at specialty sports shops in Japan.

Let’s make a “snowman bobblehead” modeled after those.

You’ll need three things: a paper cup, a toothpick, and an illustration of the snowman’s head that can sway back and forth.

Make a hole in the bottom of the paper cup, fix the neck piece of paper with the toothpick, and then attach the head on top.

Refer to tutorial videos that explain how to make it, too.

Once you make one, you’ll probably want to make plenty more.

A snowman balancing toy

[Science Play] Snowman Balancer (Yajirobe) #KidsCraft

If you stack two white round shapes, they look like a snowman, right? Just add eyes and a mouth to the head and you won’t need any fine detailing.

So, let’s make a balancing toy (a yan-jiro-bē) using round styrofoam balls.

If you create a snowman on the right side, you can put anything on the other side—beads, faux jewelry, whatever you like! The finished piece can serve as a small room accent and also as a toy for practicing balance.

Be careful of the sharp ends of the wire, and have fun crafting!
