Snowman Learning Activities for Kids

If you live somewhere that gets snow (and really even if you don’t!) you might want to incorporate some snowman learning activities when it’s cold outside. There are lots of fun snowman themed worksheets and activities so let’s dig into it!

Use snowmen to learn about and talk about your feelings with these snowman feelings chart activities from Living Life and Learning. They also have a nice set of snowman worksheets including a fill-in-the-blank poem, I-spy and more.

Have kids draw a silly snowman and tell a story about it with these roll a snowman printables from The Artisan Life. This one is fun for the whole classroom to do so you can see how they all turn out different.

Get a little math practice in with the snowman spin printable math game from The Kindergarten Connection. Kids make the snowman into a spinner then spin two numbers and add them together to color in the mittens. Or play with shapes while building snowmen with these printable snowman shape puzzles from Preschool Play and Learn.

Snowmen are a great theme for STEM activities as well, of course, so why not turn a marshmallow building challenge into a snowman building challenge? This idea from MomBrite has kids trying to build the tallest snowman. Head to her post for all the details.

Teach Beside Me has a cute idea you can use in a lot of different ways called Save the Snowman. It’s balanced on straws and you can write sight words or math problems on the straws, and each round you have to remove a straw and read the word or answer the problem, trying to keep the snowman standing as long as possible. So fun!

Youaut-aknow has a great collection of winter fine motor skill ideas, several of which involve snowmen. The one shown involves snowman printables and buttons, which you can use for color matching or counting (or both, even!). This one kind of reminds me of a found-object snowman activity I did with my daughter years ago related to the book Snowballs.

Remembrance Day (marked as Veterans Day in the United States) is Nov. 11, and it marks the end of hostilities in World War I. Poppies are a traditional symbol of the day because it is said they were the first flower to grow again on the battlefields, which inspired a famous poem. Let’s check out some poppy crafts you can make with your kids as part of a World War I unit or for Remembrance Day.

This pretty poppy craft from Krokotak just requires the printable, some crayons, scissors and glue. The printable includes the center of the flower and kids can draw the outside as well as adding stem.

Glued to My Crafts has a printable for a torn paper poppy, or you could color or paint this one as well.

Use torn or cut pieces of paper to make these poppy suncatchers from Red Ted Art.

Happy Hooligans has a bunch of great poppy crafts but I particularly like the painted rocks and easy paper plate poppy.

Crafty Morning has a cute poppy craft made with fingerprints, which is quick and easy to do with kids of any age.

Older kids and adults can make these folded paper poppies from Chica and Jo, but they do involve hot glue and floral wire, which can be sharp, so it’s not for young kids. An easier paper poppy that only calls for regular craft glue can be found at Sugar Spice and Glitter. This one also has a printable template to make it easier.

These felt poppies from One Little Project also use a glue gun and a sewing needle, but they’re so pretty I couldn’t resist sharing them for older kids. Add a pipe cleaner stem or turn them into pins to wear for remembrance events. Check out their coffee filter poppy craft for a great option for younger kids.
