Make a fun coffee filter snowman with your child today
Follow these easy steps on how to make a snowman with your child today using coffee filters, crafts, and recyclable materials.
If your pre-schooler enjoys coffee filter projects, they’ll love this one!
You and your child will have a blast making this little coffee filter snowman. The entire project is made from craft and recyclable items you likely already have in your home.
Here’s what you need:
- Scrap pieces of different coloured fabThreeic
- 3 coffee filters
- Craft glue
- Paint
- Scissors
- Sequins, buttons, glitter, stars, stickers
- Scrap pieces of paper (for decorating your snowman)
How to make it
- Fold two coffee filters in half until you get a little pie shape, then cut off the top rounded edge (to make a smaller circle).
- Repeat with the other coffee filter, but trim a bit more. Thus, you have three sizes, the smallest of which is for the head.
- Have your child attach the three-sized circles to a piece of fabric. Because the coffee filters are so thin, you must be careful not to apply too much glue or tear the filter with the glue nozzle.
- Cut out a few circles for the buttons, a triangle for the nose, and more circles for the eyes. Cut a piece of paper in the shape of a tophat, paint it black, and stick it on the top of the snowman’s head.
- Help your child cut strips of paper and glue them together to make the arms.
- Help your child add decorations, and you’ll have a charming little snowman!
Top tip: Because the coffee filters are so thin, it’s best to stick your child’s snowman on a piece of cardboard so they can hang him on their bedroom wall.
