It’s also fun to add variations like hats and mittens, or to make different expressions—smiling faces, angry faces, and more!

Snowman made with paint and origami
It’s hard to draw a white snowman on white drawing paper, but if you use paper that isn’t white, it’s much easier to draw a cute, pure-white snowman.
On colored paper in your favorite shade—blue, red, anything—start by painting the white snowman with paint.
It’s a good idea to paint the small parts like the eyes and mouth at the same time.
Once the snowman is done, use origami paper and scissors to make a bucket hat and mittens for the snowman.
For children who aren’t yet comfortable with scissors, the teacher should prepare these parts in advance.
Finally, paste the cut-out bucket and other parts onto the sheet where you drew the snowman—and you’re done!
A snowman made of snowflake paper cutouts
This is a decoration that combines two winter-themed motifs: a snowman and snowflakes.
You can easily make the snowflakes by folding paper into a triangle and cutting out shapes with scissors, as if carving them.
When making the snowflake, if you cut the edge in a form that looks like stacked circles, a snowman shape will appear when you unfold it.
After that, just add color to the unfolded piece and it’s done.
Besides a snowman, incorporating a Christmas tree shape is also recommended.
Snowman made from a single sheet of origami paper
A snowman with a hat and scarf that you can make using only origami—no glue or scissors needed.
Some parts of the folding are a bit tricky, but follow the video carefully and you’ll be fine.
It’s amazing that you can create such a cute snowman from a single sheet of origami paper without cutting or pasting.
Finally, it’s a great idea to have your child help draw the face, like the eyes and mouth.
With their handmade charm, these adorable snowmen are sure to delight the kids.
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.
Snowman made from a toilet paper roll
You can’t resist the adorable, chubby shape of snowmen made from toilet paper rolls, can you? All you need are toilet paper cores, origami paper, round stickers, scissors, glue, double-sided tape, and felt-tip pens.
Since it’s just a matter of repeating simple steps—cutting, folding, and sticking—it’s perfect for little kids, too.
The cute face and clothing patterns are your chance to show off originality.
Make plenty of these three-dimensional snowmen without worrying about the cost of materials, and enjoy them however you like!
A snowman made by cutting out a paper plate
How about an easy snowman wall decoration made with paper plates? You can make perfect use of the plate’s round shape just as it is—it’s so satisfying! For the snowman’s cute scarf, use felt.
Any leftover felt can be used for the nose.
Draw pupils on small circles of paper, add rosy cheeks with crayon, and stick some sparkly stickers on the body—and you’re done.
If an adult handles the initial step of cutting out the center of the paper plate with a craft knife, the rest makes a fun craft to create together with children.

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.
