Cut out and assemble the snowman body. Cut out the snowman body and glue it onto colored cardstock. Cover the body with cotton balls, gently pressing them into the glue to create a fluffy texture.
Decorate the snowman. Add details to bring your snowman to life. Use pom poms and pipe cleaners for earmuffs, wiggly eyes for the face, and orange craft foam for a carrot nose. Add buttons, a pom-pom mouth, and stick arms cut from brown foam. Encourage kids to personalize their snowman.

Allow the snowman to dry flat before moving or displaying.
