Whether you are buried in drifts or living in a more temperate climate – everyone LOVES a jolly frosty friend & today’s crafty idea is sure to well-received by the lucky receiver!

Enjoy “building” your own snowy friend with your child today with our easy step-by-step Footprint Snowman Card tutorial below.

It’s a cinch! All you need is some colored cardstock paper, some white paint and a little creativity to create a one-of-a-kind piece that can be treasured for years to come!

Craft Supplies:

  • Cardstock Paper
  • White Craft Paint
  • Orange Craft Paint
  • Black Craft Paint
  • Paint Brushes
  • Paper Cutter/Scissors
  • Adhesive
  • Embellishments

Directions:

  • First grab a single sheet of cardstock paper {preferably a dark color so the white will stand out}
  • Make the base of your snowmen by painting your child’s foot completely white and then pressing it in the center of your cardstock.
  • Set aside to let it dry completely.
  • Once dry, trim around the footprint shape so it will fit on a card front.
  • Repeat for each snowman card you want to make.
  • Now you are ready for the embellishments.
  • Grab your remaining cardstock and cut out a hat, nose, buttons, scarf and eyes to complete the snowman.
  • Go ahead and glue those on top of the footprint to give your snowman life.
  • At this time, your child can also add other embellishments they see fit & really make it their own!
  • To finish off your Footprint Snowman Cards – fold another sheet out of cardstock in half to make a card.
  • Go ahead and glue your footprint snowman to the front of it.
  • For added flair (and a nicer touch) I went ahead and trimmed around another piece of cardstock to go around our footprint design, then glued it down to the front of the card.
  • Once done, write a sweet message inside with your child, slip in an envelope and mail away!

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
