Banish the winter blues for good, with our super easy to recreate Paint Splat Melted Snowman kid craft idea!
Although I miss the “look” of a good winter storm in Wyoming, I’m so glad to NOT be shoveling snow in Florida. I’m sure A LOT of people can relate to this statement when I say, snow is fun and all – but the hard work that comes with shoveling, I do not miss at all!
So anyways – I may be a little “sinister” right now but I prefer a melted snowman at this point in time 😉 So that’s exactly what inspired my latest PAINT SPLAT craft tutorial!
Using WHITE TULIP PUFFY PAINT that you can find at most craft stores, you too can recreate these melted snowman craft pieces with your child as well!
Just check out the full tutorial below and make your own MELTED SNOWMAN today! Remember – no two pieces will be alike, so kinda like making paper snowflakes, it’s fun to see the end result of the “paint splat” EACH TIME!
Well enough chit chat from me – I’ll let you get to it! Find all the details below so you can recreate one of your own today! Then snap a few pictures of what you “design” so you can share it on our Facebook page. Remember – no two pieces will be alike so I can’t wait to see how your paint splat melted snowman turns out!

The Simple Directions:
- First things first – fold your BLUE cardstock paper in half and open it back up.
- Grab your white Tulip puffy paint and squirt some white craft paint ON ONE SIDE before closing it up again.
- Once the paper is closed for the second time, gently take your hand and “caress” the paper so the white paint inside, makes a fun symmetrical print design on both sides of the paper {keep in mind – paint might ooze from the sides of the cardstock, so be sure to work in an area that can get dirty!}
- Now you are ready to open it back up and see the BEGINNING of what your melted puddle of snowmen will eventually be. From there you decorate it to bring it to life and give it life.
- Next up, grab the remaining sheets of cardstock paper and your scissors.
- Cut out a scarf, eyes, carrot nose, hat etc. from the paper.
- Finally – the last step in completing this melted snowman paper craft is to glue down ALL the cardstock cutout pieces, on top of the paint splat design.
- Once finished with your custom melted snowman masterpiece, then set aside to let it dry completely, before displaying proudly! And of course – repeat as many times as you like! No two pieces will be the same and I think that’s what makes it even more fun!
