[Childcare] Cute and rotund! Snowman craft ideas
Does it snow where you live?
I imagine some of you live in areas where heavy snowfall makes shoveling a challenge, while others have only seen snow on TV or in photos.
Still, no matter who you are, when you hear “snowman,” you probably picture a cute, round, chubby little snowman.
In this article, I’d like to share ideas for making these adorable snowmen.
We’ve included a wide range—from quick and easy projects to ideas you can take your time with—so please give them a try!
Note: Since the items made by children are treated as works, we refer to them as “creations” in the text.

Here’s a craft idea where kids can freely create snowmen using circle, triangle, and square pieces.

Some children might use circular pieces for the eyes, while others might use triangular pieces.
