This simple paper plate snowman is a fun winter craft for kids that is easy enough for Toddlers and preschoolers.

Building a real snowman out of snow is the most fun activity kids can do when it comes to snowmen and winter.

Like this year, sometimes the weather just doesn’t permit this. Where we live it has been unusually warm and our yard is full of mud.

No matter if it is too warm or too cold, or if you just want your snowman to last longer than the winter, this snowman craft is a fun winter activity.
