Quick Snowy Crafts

Here’s a few quick “snowy” crafts that you can do very quickly without a lot of preparation… I love those!

These are all pretty easy and will probably only appeal to younger kids — but then again, the Q-Tip Snowflakes were a real hit with my bigger kids!  You just never know…

Enjoy!

Snow Tracks

Paint a child’s palm only with brown or black paint and stamp it several times onto a sheet of white paper. Guide them to stamp their palm in a straight line across the paper. Dip their index finger into paint and stamp the “toes” around the top of the palm print 3 or 4 times for each palm stamp. When done, it should look like animal paw prints in the snow.

This is a good opportunity to talk about what animals do in the winter, how you can see different animal tracks in the snow in winter, bear hibernation, etc.

Q-Tip Snowflakes

Lay a sheet of wax paper on a table. Use Q-tips to make a snowflake on top of the wax paper.  Squirt glue on any spot where 2 Q-tips meet.  Let dry completely and peel off of wax paper.  Don’t forget, you don’t have to use whole Q-tips, you can break them up and use pieces too!

My “big” kids enjoyed this one too!

Paper Plate Snowman

Staple one small paper plate onto a large paper plate.  Glue buttons, pom poms,construction paper, foam, etc. onto the plates to make the snowman’s parts.

This one is really fun for younger kids because they can do it themselves.

Pasta Snowflakes

Draw a large X on a piece of construction paper and then put a line down the middle to make a guideline for a snowflake.  Use a variety of pasta shapes to glue on top of the lines and form a snowflake.
