Do you have a favorite snowman craft?

How about a favorite snowman song?

Let's put the two together for some fun hands-on learning with the kids.

Crafts just seem to go better with a song, and this fun winter activity is no exception. For many of us, a favorite song and story is Frosty the Snowman. (affiliate link)

Frosty is always popular with grownups and kids. But there are other fun snowman songs you can enjoy with your preschooler.

Enjoy fun sing-along as you create this cute little snowman! The craft is easy to make with just a recycled lid and everyday craft supplies. Kids will benefit from engaging those early fine motor skills as they work on their snowman craft.

Start the music and join in the fun!

Snowman recycled lid craft

Supplies for the snowman craft

• recycled coffee cup lid
• felt
• construction paper
• scissors 
• glue

Some coffee cup lids have a flip top like the one in the picture. I flipped the tab back and secured it in place to make the craft. Use any lid you have available for this craft.

Instructions for the snowman craft

Step 1. Make the scarf.

• Trace the bottom half of the lid onto plain paper.

• Remove the lid and fill in the drawing by hand to make a scarf template. Cut out the template. Transfer the template to felt.

Step 2. Make the facial features. 

• Cut out eyes and a carrot nose from paper.
• Cut out the scarf from felt using the template made in step 1.
• Draw small musical notes by hand, or download and print musical notes using the link below.

Step 3. Finish the snowman.

Kids can have fun adding the features.  Some may prefer to cut out their own features to create a unique snowman.

If you have a flip top on the lid, you can add the mouth in two ways.

• The mouth cutout on the left is glued to the front of the cup.
• The mouth cutout on the right is glued to the back of the cup as shown in the photo below.

The mouth cutout can be glued to the back of the cup over the small opening made by the flip tab.
