Pop Up Melting Snowman Craft for Kids

Learn how to make a pop up melting snowman craft. This is a simple winter craft for kids for days when you are stuck inside.

Snowman crafts are the perfect winter craft to do when you are stuck inside with the kids. This particular snowman craft is awesome because it involves materials you probably already have and creating the “pop up” part of the snowman creates an extra level of fun. Let me show you!

If you’ve been around here a while you know that I’m no stranger to creating snowman crafts and cute food ideas involving snowman. I recently created some yummy melting snowman cookies, an easy toilet paper roll snowman, I shared how to make a snowman in Minecraft, and then I rounded up a handful of fun snowman crafts that you can do all year.

How to create a pop up melting snowman craft for kids

First decide what color construction paper you will use for the background. We chose blue. You can make the background as big or as small as you want. Cut the paper according to how big you want it.

Next cut two irregular circles (otherwise known as “blobs”) out of the white construction paper making sure one is bigger than the other.

Next use the black construction paper to cut out a hat for the snowman. Glue it to the top of the white circle.
