Large Snowmen Templates
- Create and decorate a large snowman. Students cut out and use the circles to create a snowman and add accessories as they see fit. If they want, students can create themselves as a snowman. Then, post the snowmen around the classroom or in the hallway.
- Go outside and collect items that you can use to decorate the snowman. Acorns, leaves, and sticks can become buttons, hats, and arms. Students cut out the large snowman and decorate it with what they’ve found.
- How to build a snowman: Use the large snowman printable to draft a how-to page for building a snowman. First, write the steps to build a snowman on a large sticky note using transition words (first, next, then, last). Then, use the snowman printable to add an image to go with each sentence.
- Snowman biography: Students research a famous person and create a snowman of that person. They can use the accessories or create their own.

- What is your favorite thing about winter?
- What is your favorite winter activity?
- Is winter the best season? Why or why not?
- If you could live anywhere in the world during winter, where would you live?
- If tomorrow were a snow day, what would you do?

Medium Snowmen Templates
- Imagine a snowman has a snow day! Students plan how a snowman would use its snow day. Would the snowman want to be out playing in the snow? Or would their snowman be inside an igloo trying to relax? Once they have their ideas, students write a narrative about what the snowman did on its snow day and decorate a medium snowman to illustrate their story.
- Snowman of substance: What can you cover snowmen with? Cotton? Salt? Create snowmen that are different textures and post them in a corner to create a sensory wall.
- Snowman weather forecast: Create a snowman weather forecaster and have them tell the weather. You can research the weather in your area and have the snowman report on actual weather (How would a snowman feel about five days of sun in a row?). Or make up a forecast that a snowman would love. Record students’ forecasts and share them with parents.
