Winter months are the best time to cozy up in a warm room and make some winter crafts and activities with your kids (a cup of hot cocoa also makes all the difference). This snowman activity is a great one as it’s a joint project.
If you are a teacher, you can also prepare these for your classroom. It’s a project your kids can do over and over again (and you can use the same one year after year).
How to Make the Dry Erase Snowman Activity
What you need:
- pencil
- cardboard
- compass (optional)
- acrylic paint (white)
- paintbrush
- markers (black, orange, and colors of your choice)
- contact paper (best) or transparent tape
- piece of clean cloth
Step-by-Step Tutorial
Start by drawing a snowman outline on cardboard.
Paint the snowman’s body white (acrylic or craft paints).
Now let’s make this a dry erase project. It’s best if you use contact paper, as you can cover the whole area with a single sheet.
If you don’t have contact paper, you can use clear tape to cover the snowman.
Cover the area from top to bottom.
The fun can now begin! Give kids dry erase markers (as many colors as you can get) and let them design their own snowman.
How they make their snowman is entirely up to them.
They can add some buttons on the snowman’s belly.
An orange carrot nose or a round red nose. Whatever they want!
They can also add other details, such as a scarf, a hat, twig arms… The possibilities are endless.
When kids are done and ready to draw another snowman, just have them wipe away their creation and start over.
Ta-da! The snowman canvas is all set for another round of creativity.
This time, have kids make a snowman with a whole new look.
Have them draw a nose.
And a scarf.
Great job! Now that they’ve finished two awesome snowmen, they can repeat the fun process repeatedly.
This winter activity will bring loads of fun!
