Snowman Felt Board

This adorable snowman felt board is a great way to engage your child’s creative imagination by switching out the hat, scarf, and nose!

 

Why we love this project

Who doesn’t love cute snowman crafts? Kids love them and they are popular long after Christmas is over. A snowman felt board is a great way to engage little ones and it encourages imagination, similar to our Four Seasons Felt Board, both of which are a hit with the kids!

Simply change the hats, noses, and scarves and the snowman is different. Here are just a few of the different ways to dress up the snowman on this felt board we are about to make.

What you’ll need to make a Snowman Felt Board

You can find the full printable instructions at the end of this post.

• 8×10 cardboard (the back of a writing pad works great)
• Felt: light blue, white, green, and various other colors
• Black and pink Sharpies
• White craft glue

Making the Snowman Felt Board

1. Cover the cardboard with white craft glue and spread it into an even layer using your finger.
2. Cover a little more than half of the cardboard with light blue felt for the sky. Cover the bottom section with white felt, overlapping the blue by about ½”. Do not glue down the overlap.
3. Cut out two sections of triangle trees from green felt. The green triangles can be inserted into the white felt “pocket” that overlaps the blue felt, this way the trees can be moved and your snowman can be repositioned. Cut out clouds from white felt.
4. Cut out a snowman shape from white felt, cut another, and glue them together. This will make your snowman a bit sturdier.
5. Cut noses from orange felt, stick arms from brown felt, and accessories from various other colors. You can make a top hat, stocking cap, ear muffs, scarves, mittens (not shown), a bow tie and buttons.
6. Draw facial features on with black and pink Sharpies (hint: place a hat and scarf in place before drawing to be sure you have enough room).
7. Kids will be able to make various different snowmen by dressing them in different accessories!
