A snowman is a sign of winter. Whether you live in a place with lots of snow or no snow at all, you can craft snowmen all winter long. Display smiling snowmen in your home, do the project in a class, or on a snowy day.

These crafts for kids include projects that are easy to make and mostly use household items. They'll keep your kids busy during the winter months and some are even cute enough to give as holiday gifts.
