easy snowman drawing for kids

During the Winter months, which can be anytime from November to early March here in the UK my kids love everything about snowmen!!

One thing they do not love though is the freezing cold, oh and the fact that Mr or Mrs Snow person melts as soon as the temperature starts rising!!

As a result I have done lots of brilliant easy snowman crafts with them. These are great because they do not melt and the kids can use them for pretend play over and over again!! They also make great decorations for your home. I absolutely love my toilet roll snowman!! He looks great on my windowsill!

Why Draw an Easy Snowman

You might ask why would anyone want to draw a snowman? Well as I already mentioned a snowman drawing is one that does not disappear! 

Drawing is a great creative escape for children of all ages! They can follow my winter drawing tutorial step by step or they can add their own take on it.
