Today is all about snowmen. ALL about snowmen! I've found some great books, videos, food ideas, crafts, and TPT Freebies to share with you. You can also check out my post all about Snow and Snowflakes with completely different, great ideas about snow. Who knew there were so many things to do with snow that didn't actually involve real snow?
I was going to spread out the posts and do books one day, then food, then crafts, etc - but I like to have a one stop spot to go where lots of great ideas are in one place- so I thought you might like that, too. I was working on some winter ideas for my classroom- and just kept on going!
I found this cute snowman sweatshirt for sale at Amazon- for about $30. What?! I am thinking it would be very easy (and fun)(and cheaper) to make! I love the idea. You could even make white t-shirts for the kids. Pretend I am wearing this shirt the whole time I am showing you what I found.
Here are some of my favorite Snowman books.
I have so many winter/snow/snowman books. I think it is because we are inside so much in the winter- and I got many of these books when my children were little. We did lots of reading inside, with lots of jammie days. So- now I have a wonderful winter book collection!
Any in this series of Snowmen books are good!
This book is great to talk about working together to get something done.
This book is fun to use to compare the snow people to the real children.
This book is sweet, and great for a discussion about sticking up for each other.
The illustrations in this book are different and fun to talk about.
This book is fun for the 100th Day of School. The kids like the pictures- lots of details.
Sweet, sweet, sweet.
I LOVE this book! The illustrations are just gorgeous.
The first one is from Heidi Songs. If you haven't subscribed to her Youtube channel- go do it! She has the best teaching songs! I use her wonderful videos all the time. Thank you, Heidi!
This one is Build a Snowman from AGame.com
The children can design a snowman with this game from A Kids Heart.
I always love Starfall. They have a cute Snowman Game, too.
Teri from A Cupcake for the Teacher has a cute Snowman Ornament to share. This would be fun for anytime in winter- and those ornaments should be on sale now, too!
Occasionally Crafty has a melted version!
I also loved these Glowing Snowmen at Stuff By Ash! Now is the time to get cheap Christmas lights, too!
Don't you love these Spiral Snowmen from Fun Family Crafts?
These are Clay Pot Snowmen (I just saw a package of them at the Dollar Store!), but you could also use Styrofoam cups.
I love MaryAnn Jenkins Tea Light Snowmen at I Rock Paper and Scissors (I loved her blog name, too)!
The marstonfam.blogspot shared this cute Cereal Box Snowman! (It's a private blog but so glad she shared the picture because it is precious!) Gift boxes are 75% off now lots of places, too- so you can stock up. It would be fun to have all different sizes to choose from. I was thinking how to paint the boxes white... then... duh... realized that I can actually BUY white boxes!
Look how cute these Snowman Wrapped Gifts are from Make It- Love It. You could even wrap a pack of cards , a candy bar, or a pretty smelling bar of soap, and decorate it cute like this.
Isn't this Windblown Snowman from Artsonia cute? I love the expression you can get just from circles!
I thought these Snowman Magnets from Make and Takes were precious!
Mama Smiles has these cute Popsicle Stick Snowmen ornaments. Again, these would make cute magnets or even reading pointers!
I love these QTip Paint Snowmen from Nadine on Pinterest. These would be perfect for my Seurat Artist Study with pointillism! ("Seurat, Seurat, he painted with a dot," is how I always remember him with my Kindergarten brain!)
That reminded me of a snow globe- and I loved this Snow Globe Snowman from Deceptively Educational. I have seen several, but this looks so easy to do and cute!
You can read this sweet story to go along with the snow globe art!
Kids Activity Blog shared this cute Picture Snowman magnetic picture frame.
I also love these precious Snowchildren from The Pike Family.
Craft Elf has some cute Water Bottle Snowmen! You could fill it with anything- shredded paper, marshmallows, cotton balls, rice...
Oh My! Creative shared these Sudsy Snowmen. My kids would LOVE these!
I was thinking you could put white finger paint in a baggie like we do to practice writing letters and sight words, and dress the bag up with Sharpies to look like a snowman, to make practicing writing on the bag more special for winter!
Metamore Community Preschool shared a fun Snowman Counting Game made from a milk or water container. I loved this idea! You could even use cotton balls to count- or put in cotton balls and sight words and have the kids pull out a sight word to read. There are so many possibilities. I just loved the idea of the simple jug!
How about some Potato Print Snowmen from Growing a Jeweled Rose? These are so cute.
Or these Cup Printed Snowmen from Playing House in Maryland!
I love these Emotional Snowmen from No Time for Flash Cards. I have never thought of using the food markers to decorate them. These would be so much fun.
Krafty Kid has a Puffy Paint Snowman using shaving cream and glue for the paint.
I love this Paper Loop Snowman from the Learning Bug! I am definitely going to make this with the kids.
Craft Elf has a cute Melted Snowman craft. It reminds me of the glue ghosts and would be cute hanging in a window!
Laura G has a Snowman Name Activity at her TPT Store that goes along with this craft idea!
These snowmen are precious from bamcraftymommas.
Mamas Like Me shared these cute Sock Snowmen. I used to make them for my kids for gifts- and sort of forgot them! I have seen other sites with them but I like hers, because they are simple and do-able. Some of them have separate hats. I like these where the hat is the top of the sock. Perfect! That was what I did, too. It's easy to add a scrap of fabric for a scarf- but the extra hat seems like work, so... this hat is great!
Here is another version from The Best Kids Crafts:
Handprint and Footprint Art shared this cute Snowman Craft!
That reminded me of this ornament from Full of Great Ideas, which again, doesn't just have to be for Christmas. You could have such an adorable little Winter Snowman Tree with all the cute ornament ideas out there!

Delia Creates shared this cute Snowman Pizza idea. How fun!
I make these SIMPLE snowman cups decorated with Sharpies to go with these precious donuts. You can use a smaller (shorter) cup, but experience has taught me... using the bigger one= less spills. You don't have to fill it so full. Also, normally I use a plain plastic cup without the design. I just didn't have one to show you.
Or how about these cuties from Paint Me Plaid?
I had two moms make these precious cheese stick snowmen for snack for my class.
