This snowman doesn't need much explanation. It is simply a snowman that kids can help cut and assemble. Then the teacher can add a photo of the child for the snowman's face.

Snowman Arts & Crafts Ideas
January is almost over but it's not too late to make a snowman. These are just a few ideas I rounded up for you all. Enjoy! :)
Snowman Globe - This was made by a another pre-k class at the school where I work. As you can see, the globe is a blue painted paper plate and the globe stand is half of a brown painted plate.
Blistery Snowman Picture - We made these in our classroom. We invited the students to use their fingers or paint brushes to make snow. After the snow was dry we added circles for the snowman body, dry black beans for the buttons, and some twigs for the arms.
Snowman Window Scene - This was made by my son who is in kindergarten. They used crayons on black construction paper to draw a scene and then they added some brown strips on top of the picture to look like the scene was being viewed through a window.
Winter Wonderland Snowmen - These were made by providing students with sequins, feathers, buttons, and other various craft supplies.Other snowman ideas:

Snowman Votive Craft
Parents and grandparents always enjoy cute handmade gifts from children, especially when they're made from handprints or fingerprints.
This snowman is simply made from a child's finger. Paint white paint on their finger and press lightly onto the votive holder. After the paint dries you can add the arms, buttons, etc with a fine tip brush or permanent marker. You might even want to paint the child's name and date on the side or bottom.
Teacher tip: When making handprint gifts, be sure to have the child look away as you press their hand. When the child is looking, they tend to press their hands themselves or jerk away from you which leaves a blurry mess.
This idea is very similar to the snowman ornament that I shared with you a few years ago.
Do you have any kid-friendly handmade gift ideas to share?

Painting with Ice
A few weeks ago, my daughter's preschool class learned about winter. One day the teacher made ice cubes with food coloring and then left the kids "paint" with them. I thought this was a pretty neat idea.

Winter Songs
My friend sent me this winter song and fingerplay. Hope you enjoy them.
Five Little Snowmen
Five little snowmen riding on a sled
One fell off & bumped his head
Mama called the doctor
And the doctor said
No more snowmen riding on a sled!
I'm a Little Snowman (to the tune of "I'm a Little Teapot")
I'm a little snowman
Short and fat
Here is my scarf
And here is my hat.
When the sun comes out I melt and say
Make me again another day.
