How to Make Creative Snowman Art for Preschoolers

Last Updated on December 2, 2019 by Sheryl Cooper

Have you seen all the creative snowman art for preschoolers out there? For the past 13 or so Januaries, I have had so much fun with our snowman unit. And every year, I change things a bit. This year I wanted to try adding some texture to our snowman art activity along with a variety of loose parts.

We first read the book Snowballs by Louis Ehlert. We then got to experience a couple of snow days. (That’s about all we get annually here.) I wanted to make sure it was open-ended, that the preschoolers could add their own touches. And I wanted it to be a sensory experience. I wanted their fingers to feel different textures. This snowman activity did all of that!

Creative Snowman Art for Preschoolers

What you will need:

• Shaving Cream
• White glue
• Card Stock
• Any embellishments you wish to add

Preparing this activity:

Mix equal amounts of white glue and shaving cream. Cut a simple snowman shape from the paper. Gather whatever embellishments you choose and place them in a tray or some sort of container.

What we used:

Milk caps, buttons, yarn, raffia, fabric scraps, plastic forks, and other small items I found. I also cut out orange triangles for the nose and we used googly eyes.
