What a fun, and oh so easy, snowman art project to make with the kids! Perfect for your list of winter activities for preschoolers.

Cookie cutters are always fun to have on hand with kids!

In the past, I’ve had children use the cookie cutters to stamp patterns and designs, make book covers, create wrapping paper, make bulletin board borders, and so much more.

Glittery Snowman Art Project for the Kiddos

This winter art project is incredibly easy to set up, and my students have had a ton of fun with it over the years.

While it has a general outcome (a snowman), it’s still more process art than craft. There are endless ways the kids can go with this easy art invitation.

Supplies for  the snowman art project

Blue glitter tempera paint, as well as regular blue tempera paint

White construction paper

Snowflake cookie cutters, large and small

How to set up the snowman art invitation

I cut a very basic snowman out of white construction paper first.  After that, I put the paint on a tray and placed the cookie cutters next to to the paint.

How the kids created

As always, the kiddos wanted to know what I was up to right away.  I love their enthusiasm for play and learning!

Once I gave the go-ahead, a group of students sat down and dug into the painting.  They used the cookie cutters to stamp snowflakes all over the snowmen.

Some of the children stamped the cookie cutters all over their snowmen, while others were very precise in their placement.

One of my students stayed at this snowman art activity the entire center time!  He made multiple snowmen and experimented with using the different-sized cookie cutters.

Other ideas for this cookie cutter snowman art project

The week we originally did this snowman art, the weather was a bit crazy.  We missed one day of school and another two were shortened days.

So instead of letting the kids cut out the snowman shape, I did it ahead of time.  Normally, I’d just let the children make their own snowman or let them do all of the cutting.

    My kids love painting with cookie cutters! I love this idea for turning that process into an adorable craft, too.

      Awww, thanks Shaunna. The kiddos in preschool, and my first-grader son, still love using the cookie cutters. I LOVE process art, but sometimes it’s fun to use it to create something, too.

    What a great idea! And kudos to your kiddos for beautiful art! I know that aesthetics aren’t the point of process art, but those are really pretty!

      Thanks Rachael!! I love process art (both in the classroom and at home), and we do a ton of it! Sometimes it’s nice to take it and turn it into something, though. Next time I plan on letting the kiddos cut the shapes out though. 🙂
