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:
Supplies Needed

- 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

- Glue larger buttons to the middle and bottom doily
- Glue smaller black buttons as a mouth and eyes
- Add a small orange button for the nose

- Twist the two short pieces around the larger pieces of pipe cleaner, making snowman arms
- Glue the pipe cleaner arms onto the paper

Quick Tip
