How to Make a Popsicle Stick Snowman

Winter is the perfect time for crafts since going outdoors for sports is limited. Most crafts are too hard for the little children to do since they can't use hot glue guns or understand complex designs. This popsicle stick snowman is just right for those tiny fingers. It is simple enough, yet the popsicle stick turns the craft in to a puppet for maximum fun. Small children will feel a sense of accomplishment when they complete their popsicle stick snowman.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Popsicle Stick
• Construction paper
• Markers
• Glue
• Scissors
• Pencil

1. Draw three circles on a sheet of white construction paper with a pencil. Make one circle big for the snowman's bottom, one circle medium size for the snowman's middle, and one circle small for the snowman's head.

2. Cut the circles out and glue them in order on the popsicle stick.

3. Draw a top hat on a piece of black construction paper and cut it out. Glue the top hat to the snowman's head.

4. Draw a scarf on red construction paper. Cut the scarf out and then fray the edges by cutting little slits in the end. Glue in between the snowman's head and his middle body so that it looks like it is going around his neck.

5. Use your markers to give your snowman two eyes, a mouth, and some buttons down the middle piece of the snowman.

6. Draw a carrot nose on orange construction paper. Cut it out and glue it in between the eyes and the mouth. If you don't have any orange construction paper, you can draw a carrot nose with your markers.

Tips & Warnings

• Cut out some red mittens from construction paper and glue one coming out of each side of the snowman to show he has hands.
• Cut out a broom from brown construction paper and glue it to the red mitten.
• Make sure young children are using age appropriate safety scissors.
