Kids will love decorating their own snowman while building fine motor skills and creativity. Best of all — most of the supplies are probably already in your home!
To start grab a piece of paper, you can choose the color you would like. Use some paint to add some snow to the background of the paper before you begin. There are several ways you can create a snowy background.
Splatter painted
Flick watered down paint onto paper
To create this background, add some water to some white paint. Then dip an old paintbrush in the watered down paint. Use your finger to flick the white paint onto the paper. It is okay if you get some bigger drips on your paper.
Round sponge brush painted
For this technique, use a round sponge brush. These are available in many different sizes at craft stores, the Dollar Tree or purchase on Amazon. Simply dip the round sponge brush into paint and simple stamp onto the paper.
Pencil eraser painted
Use a pencil eraser to add snow dots to the background paper.
So easy to do, provide your child with a pencil. Use the end of the eraser dipped into paint and add dots to the paper. This will create a snow background on the paper.
Q- tip painted

Dip a q-tip into white paint to add dots to the paper.
After creating the snowy background paper, allow time for the paint to dry. Next, glue a coffee filter into the corner of your paper. It is okay if some of the coffee filter is off the paper. After gluing the coffee filter down, cut off the excess.

Next, use a piece of orange paper to cut a nose for the snowman. Add it to the snowman. Then create an eye for the snowman. You can simply glue on a googly eye or draw one on with a black marker. Use a black marker to add a smile to the snowman as well. Angle the face details to make the snowman look likw he is looking up in the air.
Now you can add a hat to the snowman. Do this by cutting out simple shapes out of any color paper. Cut a thin, long rectangle for the brim of the hat. Then cut a wider rectangle for the rest of the hat. Glue them onto the top of the snowman's head.
Finally, use a black marker to outline the snowman, nose and hat.
