This snowman craft for preschool kids is a fun way to upcycle a led tea light into a silly snow-person ornament. This craft has everything fun …pom poms, googly eyes, and an on-off switch. AND its not too much of a mess to clean up (most of the time).

Instructions: Snowman Craft for Preschool Kids
Here are the instructions for making this snowman craft with preschoolers:
- Glue googly eyes onto the front of the tea light. Younger children may need assistance with applying the glue. Follow instructions.
- Have an adult cut a 2″ long piece of pipe cleaner. This step can be done before starting the project with the children.
- Bend the short piece of pipe cleaner in a semi-circle.
- Glue the crescent-shaped pipe cleaner onto the top of the tea light above the googly eyes.
- Glue a pom pom onto each side of the tea light to create the cozy earmuffs for the snow person.
- Draw on the snowman mouth. When we did this with our toddlers, I found that the kids marker didn’t write on the plastic candles very well. We ended up having an adult go over the mouth drawing with a permanent marker so it would show up. Hopefully you have better markers than we do!
- Let the ornament dry enough that it can be safely turned over.
- Glue a loop of string onto the back to create a hanging loop for the tree ornament.
That’s how to make these snowmen crafts with preschoolers! Pretty easy, and pretty darn cute.
