Materials

  • Blue cardstock or construction paper: 1 sheet (A4 or 25×30 cm)
  • White paint: small amount (for snow and background)
  • Brown pasta (fusilli or penne): about 15 pieces (for tree trunk and branches)
  • Small white pom-poms or cotton balls: 10–12 pieces (for snow accents)
  • Orange paper: small triangle (for snowman’s nose)
  • Blue patterned paper or fabric: 1 small strip (for scarf)
  • Black marker: for face details
  • Paintbrush and glue
  • Cotton pads: 2 pieces (for the snowman’s body and head)

Instructions

  • Begin by lightly painting the bottom section of your blue paper with white paint to create the snowy ground. Use soft, sweeping strokes to give it a natural texture.
  • While the background dries, paint your pasta pieces brown (if they’re not already). Let them dry completely.
  • Glue the pasta pieces vertically for the trunk and diagonally to form branches. Add small white pom-poms or bits of cotton along the branches to mimic snow resting on them.
  • Assemble the snowman on one side of the page. Glue two cotton pads including one for the head and one for the body. Add a tiny orange paper triangle as the carrot nose, then draw eyes and a smiling mouth using a marker.
  • Cut a strip of fabric or paper to make a scarf and glue it around the snowman’s neck.
  • Use a paintbrush, sponge, or cotton swab dipped in white paint to create snowflakes falling all around the scene. Then add more white paint around the base of the tree for extra texture.
