Snow globe sun catcher made from paper plates

[Winter Craft☃️] Sparkly 3D Snow Globe Suncatcher Made with Paper Plates / How to Make a 3D Snow Globe Suncatcher

Stylish, three-dimensional snow globes are absolutely adorable, aren’t they? Gather a paper plate, clear vinyl film, glue, and pieces of cut transparent origami paper.

Cut out the center of the paper plate, attach a sheet of tape from the back, and stick the origami pieces onto the sheet.

Decorating with cotton or a handprint tree is the key step that sets the mood of the snow globe.

Placing a lid over the top enhances the sparkle even more.

It’s also lovely to display drawings made by the children inside.

Try making a one-of-a-kind snow globe of your very own.

Easy! Origami Snowman

How to Easily Make a Snowman with Origami! Winter Craft Variations Too (For 4-Year-Olds)

This is an origami snowman you can make with simple steps.

Choose the color of your origami paper based on the hat you want the snowman to wear.

Once you’ve decided, place the paper with the colored side facing up and fold it in half by bringing the left and right edges together.

Next, fold it again by matching the top and bottom edges.

Then, using the second crease, make a step fold (accordion fold), and fold the two ends of the stepped section inward, opening them into triangles.

This creates a waist, giving you a two-tiered snowman.

Finally, tuck the remaining corners at the top and bottom inward to round the shape, and you’re done.

One corner will become the hat, so fold only one layer inward so that a triangle of the colored side appears on the snowman’s surface.

Snowman Marionette

[How to Make a Snowman] “Snowman Marionette” for childcare: winter craft, easy DIY, indoor play

It’s a fun idea where the snowman dances when you move the disposable chopsticks.

Make the snowman by gluing two paper plates vertically to form the base and attaching facial parts.

For the snowman’s hands, use long, thin ribbons and add gloves made from construction paper.

Next, fix two chopsticks together at their centers by wrapping a rubber band, then open them into a cross.

Tie the snowman’s hands to two points on the chopstick cross with string.

Attach the ribbon “arms” to the sides of a vertically positioned tissue box.

Glue the paper-plate snowman to the front of the box, connect the center of the chopsticks to the box, and you’ve got a cheerful marionette!

How to make a fluffy, fuzzy snowman

[Snowman] 'How to Make a Fluffy Snowman' Winter craft, February wall decoration, preschool craft, senior care recreation, How to make a fluffy 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.

Heart-shaped woven basket

[Valentine Craft] February Valentine Heart Woven Basket [Easy Craft] Valentine work

Let’s make a heart-shaped basket using soft, textured reversible crepe paper.

It’s a fun idea that lets you experience a bit of weaving! First, cut the parts from the reversible crepe paper: two pieces measuring 24 cm × 9 cm for the basket, one piece measuring 24 cm × 2 cm for the handle, and one piece measuring 24 cm × 1 cm for the decorative ribbon.

Fold each 24 cm × 9 cm piece in half so the two sides show different colors, then make cuts from the fold at widths of 3 cm and 1 cm, respectively.

Leave the top 3 cm uncut.

Weave the slits over and under alternately, layering them to create a lattice pattern and form the basket.

Once woven, round off the corners to shape it into a heart, attach the handle and ribbon, and you’re done.

Snowman Fashion Show

Developing Thinking and Observation Skills through Crafts! February/Winter Craft Book: “Snowman Fashion Show” — For Ages 3–4 [Nursery/Kindergarten]

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!

A bubble art snowman

Soap-bubble art creates unique patterns.

This time, let’s use the technique to make a snowman.

First, prepare some colored bubble solution.

Just mix soap solution into white paint thinned with water.

Dip a toilet paper roll core into the bubble solution and use it as a stamp so that two circles connect.

These will be the snowman’s head and body.

Once it’s dry, draw the face, hands, and a scarf with pens or crayons to finish a cute snowman.
