Snowman Popsicle Craft

Materials:

• Jumbo popsicle sticks (1 per snowman)
• White paper plates or white cardstock (for the circles)
• Black cardstock/construction paper (hat + buttons)
• Orange cardstock/construction paper (nose)
• Brown cardstock/construction paper (arms)
• Googly eyes (or paper eyes)
• Glue stick + liquid glue (or hot glue with adult help)
• Scissors
• Marker (black, optional)

Instructions

1) Make the snowman “body” circles

1. Cut two white circles for each snowman:
   • Bottom circle: bigger
   • Top circle: smaller
     (You can trace cups or lids to keep them neat.)

2) Glue the circles to the popsicle stick

1. Lay a jumbo popsicle stick vertically.
2. Glue the big circle near the lower half of the stick (leave some stick showing at the bottom like the photo).
3. Glue the small circle above it so they overlap slightly.
4. Press and let it set for a minute.

3) Add the hat

1. Cut a black rectangle (tall) for the hat top.
2. Cut a thin black strip (wide) for the brim.
3. Glue the tall rectangle on top of the snowman’s head circle.
4. Glue the brim strip across the bottom of the hat (slightly overlapping the head).

4) Add the face

1. Glue on two googly eyes.
2. Cut a small orange triangle for the carrot nose and glue it under the eyes (pointing sideways).
3. Draw a smile with a black marker or cut a tiny curved black piece and glue it.

5) Add buttons/scarf (pick one style)

Buttons like the left snowman:

1. Cut 2–3 small black circles (or little rounded squares).
2. Glue them down the front of the body.

Scarf like the middle snowman:

1. Cut a small black strip and a tiny hanging piece.
2. Glue it at the neck (where the circles meet).

6) Add the arms

1. Cut two brown strips for arms (long and thin).
2. Optional: cut tiny “finger” shapes or small branches like the middle snowman.
3. Glue arms on the sides of the body circle(s).
   • You can angle them up/down to give each snowman personality.

7) Let everything dry

1. Leave flat for 10–15 minutes (longer if using a lot of liquid glue).
2. If you want to hang them, tape a loop of string to the back (or add a magnet like the photo appears to be on a fridge).
