Hello! Are you ready for a creative winter adventure? Here you will create your own snowman, not from snow, but with chalk and paper. In the end, you'll have a piece of art that’s perfect as a Christmas card or decoration for your room. Grab some chalk markers, colored paper, and your favorite scissors, and let’s get started!

What you'll need

Snowman template
White sheet of paper (A4 or a card)
Chalk markers in various colors
Colored paper for the scarf and nose
Scissors and glue
Tissue or kitchen paper
A little bit of finesse

How it works

Choose a snowman template. If you don’t have a printer, simply draw a snowman on sturdy paper and carefully cut it out. Make sure the template stays stable, as you will use it shortly.
Place the template on your white sheet of paper. Hold it firmly so it doesn’t slip. Now take a chalk marker and draw around the template. Choose a bold color like blue. Be careful: the template should not move so that the edges stay clean.
Now it gets exciting. Grab a tissue or a soft kitchen towel and smudge the chalk around the template. Make gentle movements. Be careful to keep the template in place. When you’re done, carefully lift the template off.
Ta-da! A bright white snowman appears, surrounded by a magical shimmer of color.
Now you can bring your snowman to life. Draw eyes and buttons. Sketch arms waving up, or put a funny hat on him. Cut out a carrot nose from orange paper and glue it on.
Extra tip: With a white chalk marker, you can draw snowflakes around the snowman, just like in a real snowstorm.
Now it’s time for your imagination. Would you like to give your artwork as a Christmas card? Then write a sweet message on it. Or hang it up in your room and enjoy it every time you walk by.
