We already shared a pretty cool 3D snowman pop up card with you, but that one might have been a bit tricky for younger kids to make. This card on the other hand could not be simpler.
It’s easy enough for even toddlers to make and fancy looking enough for older kids and kids at heart to make too. A win for all ages to make. Looking for more toddler-friendly ideas? Try these simple Christmas crafts for toddlers.
When it comes to making homemade Christmas cards, I like to make as many different ones as possible, plus it’s more fun this way.
This snowman Christmas card is the perfect one to use up all of your scrap paper (especially the nicely patterned scrapbook paper you are probably saving). Or even ribbon to make it look even more festive.
Let’s make this Christmas card.
How to Make a Snowman Christmas Card
What you need
- sheet of letter sized or A4 sized heavier print paper or construction paper (store bought blank card bases work fine too, naturally)
- scrap paper, as many colors as possible (or ribbons)
- orange paper or orange marker
- black marker
- scissors
- glue
Glitter always welcome for festive accents.
Easy Ways to Customize Your Snowman Card
- Swap the paper scarf for ribbon to make it look even more festive.
- Use patterned scrapbook paper for the scarf strips.
- Glue on real buttons with glue dots instead of drawing them.
- Add glitter for festive accents.

How to make a base card out of regular paper? For younger kids, folding a A4 sized or letter sized paper in half will work out just fine – larger surface will make it easier for them to work on.
For smaller cards, fold a sheet of paper in half and cut it to two halves. Fold in half and crease well.
Cut a strip of colorful paper.
Glue it on the card, somewhere in the middle.
Cut out the excess.
Glue another strip of paper on the first one, to get the “authentic” scarf look.
Trim away the excess paper.
With black marker, draw eyes, mouth and buttons.
You could also use real buttons and glue them on with glue dots.
Cut a carrot shape out of orange paper and glue it on the card or draw it with an orange marker.
All done, your super simple snowman Christmas card is finished.
