Free Printable Snowman Stencils & Templates

Do you want to build a snowman — without the cold, the snow or the mess? With these printable templates, you can. Print the pieces, colour them, cut them out and assemble your very own snowman, complete with a hat, scarf, carrot nose and buttons. It's the perfect winter craft for a snow day indoors, a cosy afternoon at home or a classroom activity, whether or not there's snow outside.

How to build your snowman

1. Colour all the pieces — the snowballs, hat, scarf, nose and buttons
2. Cut them out (younger children may need a hand)
3. Stack the three circles, biggest on the bottom and smallest on top, and glue them together
4. Add the face, hat, scarf and arms — give him a big smile or a grumpy frown

Make it your own

• Glue on pom poms for buttons and lolly sticks for arms to add some texture
• Stick a craft stick to the back to turn your snowman into a puppet
• Glue him onto dark paper and draw a snowy winter scene behind him
• Build a whole winter world with a gnome and an elf

Because the body is made of three circles in different sizes, building a snowman is also a sweet way for little ones to practise shapes and sizes while they craft.
