If you’re looking for something fun to keep the kids busy over Christmas break, this easy holiday project is just the thing! These adorable melted snowmen might be one of the cutest winter crafts they’ll ever make. Instead of building a snowman that stands tall, kids can make their very own snowman that’s melted into a silly little puddle.
This easy snowman craft is made with recycled toilet paper rolls, construction paper, and a few fun finishing touches like twigs, colorful buttons, and googly eyes. It’s a cheap and simple Christmas craft that’s great for preschoolers, kindergartners, and even older kids who love to cut, glue, paint, and get creative. Every snowman turns out a little different, especially when kids start adding their own funny faces, colorful hats, and accessories.

Supplies Needed
- white cardstock or construction paper
- variety of colorful paper
- recycled toilet paper roll
- white paint
- buttons
- small twigs
- googly eyes
- markers (for adding details)
- glue & scissors

Step 1Start by cutting a toilet paper roll in half to make your snowman’s face. Paint both the inside and outside of the roll white, applying a few coats as needed for full coverage. Be sure to let the paint dry between coats.

Step 2While the paint is drying, cut a melted snow “puddle” shape out of white cardstock or construction paper. Don’t worry about making it perfect! A puddle is supposed to have an uneven, wavy shape. We made ours about four times the size of the snowman’s head to leave plenty of room for adding fun details later.

Step 3Before assembling your snowman, it’s time to give him a cute little face! Add a carrot nose, a cheerful smile, and a pair of googly eyes. You can use markers, paint, or cut-out pieces of construction paper to create his features. Just use whatever craft supplies you already have on hand!

Step 4Now for the fun little details and accessories! Before reaching for the glue, arrange all your pieces on the snowy puddle until everything looks just right. This way, you can move things around and get creative before making anything permanent. Once you’re happy with your design, glue everything into place. And just like that, you’ve got the cutest little melted snowman for Christmas!

This easy Christmas craft is especially great for those chilly winter days when everyone is stuck inside and looking for something to do. And once they’re finished, these playful melted snowmen are almost too delightful to put away. Set them out on a coffee table, shelf, or windowsill for a little homemade holiday decoration that’s sure to make everyone smile!
