Doily Snowman Craft

This snowman craft for kids is the perfect winter craft for little kids and preschoolers. Winter can be dark and dreary, so I like to brighten the house with cute winter crafts like Candy Bar Snowmen, Salt Dough Melted Snowman, or a Paper Plate Snowman Craft for kids to make.

This doily snowman is the cutest. My little guys’ preschool teachers did this craft with the kids and I fell in love with it. Preschool teachers are the best.

What you’ll love about this craft:


  • KID FRIENDLY – This craft is perfect for little kids and elementary-age kids
  • EASY – This craft is made by gluing paper and other supplies together. There is no cutting needed. An easy craft for little kids to make.
  • CLASSIC – This doily craft makes me nostalgic. I remember so many doily crafts in the 80s and 90s. Doily crafts are so cute, creative, and old-fashioned.

Supplies Needed

doily snowman supplies
  • 12″x18″ long dark blue or black sheet of construction paper or two taped-together
  • doilies – three different-sized
  • buttons – You’ll need smaller black buttons for the mouth and eyes. Use an orange button for the nose. I used a small orange button, but a bigger one would be cute, or I would use a triangle-shaped orange button. Use larger buttons for the belly.
  • brown pipe cleaner – Cut into four pieces – 2 long and two short

Equipment Needed

Glue stick or other glue

Instructions:

  • Glue the three doilies with the largest at the bottom, the medium-sized one in the middle, and a small one on top – onto your large piece of paper
