This PAPER BOWL SNOWMAN CRAFT is lots of fun for Winter! The jolly snowmen wear brightly coloured ear muffs and neck scarves to keep them cosy and their happy faces have the biggest smiles to brighten up even the dreariest of days!
This is a really easy snowman craft for your toddlers and preschoolers to enjoy this winter. We’ve made our snowmen with paper bowls which gives the craft a lovely raised 3D effect but you could also make this winter craft with paper plates if you prefer.

How To Make a Paper Bowl Snowman Craft
1 – To make the ear muffs for your paper bowl snowman twist together three coloured pipe cleaners and bend them into an arc.
2 – Glue the ends of the pipe cleaners onto the rim of an upside down paper bowl. Next glue a large pom pom onto the pipe cleaner ends to make ear muffs.
3 – Cut out a carrot nose from orange cardstock and glue it onto the middle of the upturned paper bowl along with two wiggle eyes.
4 – Give your paper bowl snowman craft a jolly smile by glueing on your black mini pom poms. We love how these look like tradition pieces of coal!
5 – To make a cosy scarf for your snowman cut a rectangle of cardstock long enough to go across his neck. Then cut two shorter rectangles and snip into one end of each to make the scarf fringing.
6 – Glue the long scarf piece ono the snowman’s neck and then glue on the fringes.
Why not make a few paper bowl snowmen with different coloured earmuffs and scarves? They make a wonderful winter display for the home or classroom.
