[Childcare] Ideas for snowman wall decorations. Recommended for January crafts.
Snowmen you can’t help but want to make when the snow piles up.
Rolling the snow into shape is fun, and the finished snowmen look so cute and heartwarming.
Many kindergartens and nursery schools probably incorporate snowmen—so full of winter charm—into their January crafts.
So this time, we’re sharing snowman craft ideas that are perfect for wall decorations.
A big collection of ideas using all kinds of materials like origami paper, yarn, and paper plates!
It’s also fun to add variations like hats and mittens, or to make different expressions—smiling faces, angry faces, and more!
Let’s decorate with lots of snowmen that showcase the children’s individuality and enjoy the winter season!
Because the children’s creations are treated as works (artworks), we use the term “seisaku” (制作: production/artwork) in the text.

Snowman Fashion Show
Here’s a craft idea where kids can freely create snowmen using circle, triangle, and square pieces.
First, stick a large round piece onto a backing sheet to make the base of the snowman.
Then glue on a scarf made by wrapping yarn around a piece of thick paper cut into a rectangle, and you’re all set! From here, let the kids freely express their snowmen using the circle, triangle, and square pieces.
Some children might use circular pieces for the eyes, while others might use triangular pieces.
It’ll be fun to see how their unique sensibilities come through in their creations!
How to make a fluffy, fuzzy snowman
Stick double-sided tape onto a strip-cut piece of white construction paper, then place cotton on top.
Roll it into a ring and secure it! Connect two of these, add a hat and facial features, and you’ll have a fluffy snowman! Since attaching the hat on top of the cotton is tricky, it’s best to glue it to the paper base before adding the cotton.
For the facial features, bend and twist pipe cleaners to make them.
Depending on the child who makes it, each snowman will have a different expression, resulting in a set of unique, characterful creations.
Easy with just one sheet! Snowman
The charm of this origami is how easy it is—you can make a snowman with just one sheet of white paper.
There are many small, detailed folds, so try tackling it together with your child.
Each step is simple, but because it involves lots of precise finger work, staying focused is important.
As you go, guide them with prompts like “This part is next,” or demonstrate each step so they can work with confidence.
At the end, draw the face with a pen or add patterns, and each snowman will have its own unique expression.
When you line up the finished pieces for display, you can clearly see how different their expressions are—even though they’re all snowmen—making them even more fun to look at.
3D snowman made from a paper bag
How about making a three-dimensional snowman ornament using paper bags and wrapping paper? The key points are that the materials are easy to find and the patterns on the paper bags can be incorporated as part of the design.
Cut circles out of the paper bags, fold each circle in half, and combine the folded pieces to form a spherical shape.
Connect the spheres and add a face to complete the snowman.
It’s also fun that you can customize it freely—such as what kind of expression to give the snowman and which paper bags to use.
You might even combine multiple paper bags to create a design whose patterns change depending on the viewing angle.
Perfect for February! Easy snowman
https://www.tiktok.com/@shokaaijien/video/7336470154626305282This is a fun snowman craft where the paint bleeds into patterns! Brush water onto the surface of a snowman-shaped piece of construction paper, then dab on your favorite colors of paint.
Once the paint dries, draw the snowman’s face and glue on a paper bucket to finish.
Prepare paints and construction paper in various colors so children can enjoy choosing their colors.
The way the paint bleeds changes depending on how much water you mix with it, so be sure to observe the differences.
Paper fan snowman
A slightly luxurious snowman paper fan.
A paper fan is a fan-shaped decoration made of paper that gives a very festive look when displayed in a room.
It might seem a bit challenging, but it’s actually easy: make fine creases in the paper and accordion-fold it, tie the center with nylon thread, and attach the ends together with double-sided tape.
Then just stick on your preferred snowman face, and your original paper fan is complete! It’s also great as a wall decoration when you’re hosting a party.
Fluffy snowman made from tissue paper
How about making a snowman that you can easily craft with tissue paper? All you need are three tissues, half of an eighth-sheet of construction paper, some colored pens, crayons, glue, and scissors.
Since it’s made from items you probably have on hand, it’s great because it makes you think, “I could try making this right now!” The lightness of the tissues gives the snowman, scarf, and falling snow a soft, warm feel, resulting in a charming piece.
Be sure to enjoy making it together with little kids, too.
