Easy Snowman Ornament: Quick and Easy Preschool Craft

Filed Under: Christmas, Home & Garden Projects, Kids Crafts Tagged With: Kids Holiday Crafts

A quick and easy holiday craft for kids! This shredded paper snowman ornament comes together in under 5 minutes.
3 shredded paper snowmen ornaments
I found a pack of clear ornaments that I bought a few years ago in one of our Christmas boxes. I bought them to make snowman ornaments with the kids and then forgot…until this year! We made these cute ornaments to hang on the tree then used them to decorate the house in January. I love the faces that the kids drew on all by themselves. Those little carrot noses, though! We have a “no ornament left behind” policy in our home and string EVERY ornament onto the tree EVERY year. With several kiddos, this means that we have a lot of glittery, hand drawn, pasta dyed ornaments on the tree and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Each represents a moment in time, a year, and a memory.

I debated whether or not I should post a tutorial for these little ornaments because they are pretty self-explanatory, but I figured, why not? Someone might find this useful! If not, just scroll down to the bottom of the post where I share some other wintry/Christmas related crafts for kids that require a bit more instruction.

Shredded Paper Snowman Ornament

Step 1:

Shred a bunch of white copy paper (we used scrap paper).

Step 2:

Fill the ornament with the paper shreds and replace the hanger.

Step 3:

Use Sharpies to draw on a snowman face.
