For seniors: Snowman crafts to brighten January wall displays—fun ideas using origami, paper plates, and papercutting.

Snowman made with tissue paper

Making Snowmen with Tissues: Suitable for ages 3 to early elementary school—and of course, adults will enjoy it too!

Making snowmen out of tissues is such a cute idea! Folding the four corners and securing them with tape might take a little time.

But that also means there are parts where help is needed, so you can enjoy creating them together with older adults.

It naturally encourages communication and cooperation.

With creative touches like tissue-made snow and scarves, you can make some fun snowmen.

It’s great to express individual personalities and enjoy the creative process.

It also makes for a good brain-training activity.

How about reminiscing about the cold winter and peacefully enjoying some snowman-making?

Flower paper snowman

[January - Craft Activity] Crumple-and-Tear Snowman ☃

How about a “Crumple-and-Tear Snowman,” perfect for finger dexterity training? All you need are tissue paper, a clear plastic bag, chenille stems (pipe cleaners), and colored construction paper.

The small number of materials is a big plus! First, crumple the white tissue paper into balls and tear it into pieces.

Since you won’t be using scissors, it’s safe and approachable for older adults.

Pack the crumpled and torn pieces into the plastic bag and seal the opening.

Next, shape it into a head and body, and tie it with a pipe cleaner—now it’s starting to look like a snowman! For the eyes and mouth, you can use stickers or draw them with a pen to add personality.

Finally, make a hat with colored paper, and your cute snowman is complete.

It looks great as a decoration on its own, but you can also attach a string, like in the video, to hang it up!

Yarn snowman

[Childcare] Easy and cute snowman made with yarn [Winter craft]

This is a snowman decoration that charms with its soft, yarn-made look.

Cut thick paper into circles and glue yarn onto them in a spiral.

Create a large and a small base, then overlap and attach them to form the snowman’s body.

Add facial features and limb parts to complete the snowman.

The yarn gives a sense of dimension, yet the finished piece is flat, making it easy to use as decoration in various places.

It also sounds fun to try different colors and see how the overall feel changes.

Connected snowman

Perfect for winter daycare crafts ♪ Connected snowmen #short

How about making “connected snowmen” with paper cutting? All you need is a sheet of white construction paper (octavo size) and some colored paper, so it’s easy to get started.

First, cut the white paper in half horizontally.

Then accordion-fold the strip, alternating mountain and valley folds.

Using the video as a reference, sketch the snowman silhouette and start cutting.

Be careful—there are parts you shouldn’t cut so the figures stay connected.

When you unfold the white paper, you’ll have a chain of six snowmen.

Make hats with colored paper and draw the faces to finish.

Using different colors for the hats and drawing a variety of faces makes them extra cute.

Try doing this together with older adults while following the video.

[Craft Idea] Snowman SNOWMAN (December, January, February - Winter) (Wall Decorations) (Elderly Recreation / OT / Day Service) (Early Childhood Education) (DIY) (Simple Craft)

This is a curved, three-dimensional snowman wall decoration.

Apply glue to the outside of the crease on the top sheet, then attach it to the center of the bottom sheet.

Next, while still folded, cut both sheets together into the shape of a snowman.

Draw eyes on the doubled snowman, decorate it with origami cutouts such as circles, snowflakes, and a hat, and attach a triangular-prism nose made from a small strip of origami paper.

Your origami snowman is complete.

There’s no need to learn any complex folding, so it’s easy for seniors to try as well!

lease

This wreath is full of wintry charm, combining origami like snowmen and snowflakes.

Use origami paper with winter-themed patterns or gift wrap to create a hexagonal wreath base.

Then simply arrange and attach winter-themed pieces made from origami or paper cutouts in a balanced way, and it’s done! Having seniors make each piece from scratch might be a bit challenging.

It’s a good idea to prepare the pieces in advance and let everyone enjoy sticking them onto the base.
