One of my favorite materials we’ve used lots of this year is newspaper. It’s so versatile for crafting whether you leave it plain like in our newspaper shark craft, or paint it with watercolors and make colorful newspaper owls.
For winter we’ve already had fun making snowy landscape art with newspaper and today we are sharing this simple newspaper snowman craft. There is no painting required at all so it’s a quick craft to set up and put together.
Kids are going to love giving their snowman a unique personality with any embellishments you have on hand.

Glue the snowy hill at the bottom of your light blue cardstock. Then build your snowman by gluing your circles onto your paper.

Finish your newspaper snowman craft by decorating him with all of your embellishments. We used black buttons for the face and colored buttons down the body.
