When the weather turns cold outside, it’s time for a good craft idea INDOORS! Least in my opinion anyways… Keep scrolling to see how I made this Chalk Art Snowy Day project come together with TWO simple supplies from Dollar Tree!
Sidewalk Chalk Snowy Day Craft Idea For Kids
Today’s latest tutorial is a winter kid craft idea that can be made entirely from ONE trip to Dollar Tree. From the craft foam snowflake shape to the white chalk I used to set the scene – this winter themed art project can cost you less than $2 if you plan it just right!
I have to admit, it’s “a little bit” inspired by the new Disney Frozen movie. So if you have a fan {or two}} in your home that are gearing up to see the new movie in theaters this weekend, may I suggest you make this chalk art snowy day craft before hand?! I’m sure it will set the scene and get your little one even more excited for the experience! Maybe even adults can recreate our craft idea and feel like a kid again, as well!
So what are we waiting for?! All the details can be found below for this chalk art snowy day scene. Just like my past chalk art tutorials, this one is really easy to start within a matter of minutes and completes just as fast. It’s my promise to you! Plus no two snowflake scenes will be alike. I think that’s the best part of all!
Now on that note, don’t forget to show off those one-of-a-kind snowflake creations with us! We love seeing those pictures come through our feed {especially the ones where kids are working on the craft!} so tag us on our Facebook page or use #gluedtomycrafts in the description for us to see!
Happy crafting, my dear friends! I can’t wait to see your paper and chalk snowflake creations! I’m sure they are going to be beautiful and absolutely magical!

Make It Your Own:
Did you know you can dip your chalk in water to make the white chalk more vibrant on your paper? Yup! Just set a small dish with tap water on the table, dip the chalk in it for a few seconds and then draw on the paper the same way as before. This step would be great to make the fake snow really POP from the paper!
Don’t have access to any craft foam snowflake shakes? No worries! You can ALWAYS hand-cut a snowflake design {like the ones we use to make in elementary school} from computer paper and adhere it to the center, instead!
