Exciting Sense of Touch Snowman Craft for Preschoolers

Easy Snowman Crafts for Preschoolers

A fun craft to help fine motor skills

I love creating easy peasy winter crafts when the focus goes way beyond cute snowmen. This collage craft helps young learners develop important fine motor muscles, exercise creativity, and feel the pride of creating something all on their own.

Although we used cardstock/construction paper and a few textured items (sticks, buttons, googly eyes, cotton balls and coffee filters) for our craft, you can certainly get creative with other textures you have in your craft supplies box:

• Pipe cleaners for arms
• Yarn for scarves
• Sponges and white paint to create a snowy landscape
• Beads for earmuffs

How to Make the Cute Snowman Craft with Preschoolers

FUN WINTER SNOWMAN ART FOR PRESCHOOL

Because Shiloh is not able to manipulate scissors to DIY her own circles yet, I did use our large circle punches to cut the snowmen pieces for the snowman’s head and body. We have 2.5″, 2″ and 1.5″ circle cutters, so I cut a few of each size.

I also cut some white paper coffee filters into strips to give a wavy texture. 

Shiloh was really showing off her skills for this paper snowman craft. She surprised this mama because she immediately recognized the different sizes of the circles and put them in order to create a snowman. She even did a baby snowman with two circles.

Then we broke out the school glue to add googly eyes on the snowman’s face and other accessories. Unfortunately, textured items don’t stick well using a glue stick.

In the, “That’s Not My…” book series, every book goes through various adjectives for the sense of touch or sight to show that the thing pictured is not the right one. The kids can touch and experience the word that is being used. This is especially great for special needs kids like my daughter who only understand things that they can experience.

Then on the last page, we find the right snowman and feel the texture of his carrot nose.

She was so proud of her snowman that she brought it to share with her Pre-K class with her book.
