Inside: Toddlers and preschoolers can have fun making a snowflake art collage during your winter theme!

If you are looking for a simple art activity to keep your toddlers and preschoolers busy this winter, our snowflake art collage is the answer.

Young children will be working their fine motor skills while adding their own creative touches to these fun paper snowflakes.

When finished, you can display them on the wall or hang from the ceiling!

I love collage art and have done a variety of collage activities over the years, including:

  • Winter Collage on Tin Foil
  • Rainbow Collage
  • Shamrock Collage
  • Torn Paper Fall Collage

Because of my love for collage art, I keep a stash of random small pieces in our storage cabinet.

In fact, if I have leftover pieces from any art project, I will add them to my collection of collage pieces.

This makes it real easy when I am preparing an art activity!

In fact, many of the pieces of this collage activity were leftover from  a winter window art activity we did last year. (Go check it out!)

Snowflake Art Collage

Supplies

  • Paper snowflake (We used the snowflake coloring sheet from our Gingerbread Packet.)
  • White glue (we also added a dollop of Lakeshore Learning’s glittery silver paint)
  • Blue and white small pieces (We used beads, buttons, small pom poms, shredded paper, and cotton balls –  but you can use other pieces as well.)
  • Paintbrush

More ideas for collage pieces:

You can also use pieces of foil, felt, fabric, ribbon, plastic milk jug caps, macaroni, string … the list goes on and on! Take a look at what you already have and add those to this collage activity.

Note about smaller pieces and toddlers:

You can omit the small beads and buttons if you are concerned about choking. The wonderful thing about collages is that you can use a variety of loose parts in larger sizes, too!

Setting It Up

For each spot at your art table you will need a shallow container of collage pieces, a paper snowflake, a container of glue, and a paintbrush.

I like to place everything on a tray (these are my favorite current trays).

I set six of these trays on our art table so they are ready to go.

(Note: I have ten students, so as one student finishes, I place their snowflake collage on the drying rack and put fresh materials out for the next child.)

How To Make This Snowflake Art Collage

First, brush the glue on the snowflake. This by itself is fun, as young children love to use paintbrushes!

Then, press the collage pieces on top!

If the entire snowflake isn’t covered in glue, you might need to remind your toddlers to press their pieces where they will stick (on the glue) or they will fall off.

This activity is rich with fine motor work as their fingers pinch the small objects and press them into the glue.

It’s also a great sensory activity because of the different textures involved.

I love thinking about that when I put together collages.

Smooth, bumpy, fluffy, etc.

I also love how there is no right or wrong way to make these.

As long as they know how to press the pieces onto the glue, they can add as little or as much of the collage pieces as they wish.

When they are finished, let dry and display!
