Toddlers and preschoolers can make this adorable snowman craft with toilet paper rolls and fabric scraps. You can set these snowmen up in a Christmas village display, or use them as table toppers or Christmas tree ornaments.

We woke up to a very light dusting of snow this morning. It was gone by mid-morning, but it put me in the mood for some winter crafting.
I didn’t have anything planned, but I was able to pull together the supplies to make our snowmen very quickly. The materials are things that you likely have around the house.
See all of our toilet roll craft ideas here.

How to Make a Toilet Roll Snowman
- Paint toilet roll.
tarted by painting some toilet paper tubes with white paint. Â We used acrylic craft paint, but any paint will do.
- Add a hanger.
Before we continued, we stapled some rafia to the top of the tube so it could be used as a tree ornament.
- Add hat and scarf.
Next wrap a strip of scrap fabric around the top of the tube and staple it in place. We used fleece and old tee shirt material.
- Add the snowman’s face.
Glue black beans for the eyes and orange craft foam for the nose.
- Add buttons.
Glue a few buttons down the belly of your snowman ornament, and you’re done!
We placed ours by the fire to dry the glue quickly. We always dry our projects by the fire, but nothing we’ve ever made looks as cute as these guys do standing in front of the flames.
Aren’t they sweet?

We just made the snowmen today and my 7-year-old daughter loved it! She pained the tubes, and was able to do everything on her own except for the stapling — I have a rather wide stapler so that made it difficult. Too cute!
