16 Snowman Templates and Templates
Building snowmen is a very old winter tradition. People in Europe were making them at least as far back as the Middle Ages, and one illustration of a snowman appears in a book of hours from 1380. These templates give the classic three-ball shape many outfits and props. One wears a top hat, another an elf hat and vest, another a holly crown with a pine branch. Snowmen hold a present, a star, a candy cane or a broom, wear earmuffs or a bow tie, glide on an ice skate and even let a bird rest on top of a hat. There is a plain outline, a simple version, a cute snowman and a fun one for the youngest artists. The body can stay white, but kids can add pale blue shading on one side to make the snowballs look round. Hats, scarves and mittens are where the color really goes. Try the templates as a matching activity: color two snowmen with the same scarf pattern. Simple shapes are good for toddlers.
From a simple face to a snowy scene
Simple Snowman, Cute Snowman and Snowman Outline are easy pages with big round shapes and bold outlines, so young kids can finish them quickly. Simple Snowman shows only the face, which makes it great for preschoolers or a paper plate mask. Fun Snowman is the detailed page, with igloo blocks, pine trees, drifts and tiny falling flakes for older kids who like busy winter scenes.
Winter colors and snow day crafts
Leave the snowballs white or add pale blue shadows, then brighten each page with a black hat, an orange carrot nose and a red, green or striped scarf. Kids can draw a hat on Simple Snowman or add falling snow around Cute Snowman. The pages pair well with winter stories, snow day activities or a lesson on how snow forms in clouds.
