Snowman Collage Craft for Kids

If it's too cold (or warm) to make a real snowman, you can keep the kids entertained and work on fine motor skills with this easy snowman collage craft made from old magazines.

 

Since we've been stuck inside, we made a fun twist on our pumpkin collages. To be honest, as my kids get older they're pickier about their crafts and weren't that interested in this project. We decided to do just one together and they ended up liking it. Plus it turned out pretty cute.

We started by using a compass to make different sized circles on white paper.

After we traced the circles with marker we started looking through magazines for things to add to our snowman.

Since we were looking through a cooking magazine we mostly found food items. It was fun to encourage the kids to see things in a different way. We have a pineapple sun, ice cream snowballs, and a hamburger hat.
