A step-by-step guide to make a festive snowman card 

Instructions: 

  1. Pick Your Colour! Choose your favourite colour of card and fold it in half. ❄️ 
  2. Write a Festive Message! Think about who you want to give this winter wonder to and write a fun festive message inside. 🎄 
  3. Build Your Snowman! Grab those fluffy white pom-poms, you can use glue sticks or PVA to attach them, to create your snowman, start with a few for the head and a few more for the body. ☃️ 
  4. Add a Fun Face! Time to give your snowman some character! Stick on googly eyes, add a bright orange triangle for the carrot nose, you can carefully cut out small black circles (or use coloured pens) for the smile. 😊 
  5. Decorate with Buttons! Give your snowman some style by gluing buttons down his front. Use gluesticks or PVA glue to make sure they stay in place.  
  6. Don’t Forget the Scarf! Cut a strip of felt and wrap your snowman in a warm, cosy scarf to keep him toasty! 🧣 
  7. Add Some Sparkle! Grab your gluestick and add some sparkly snow or glitter to your card. Create a snowy scene or add a dash of festive magic wherever you like!  

Be sure to let everything dry before showing off your frosty creation in the classroom or taking it home to share some festive cheer! 🎁
