Paper Plate Snowman Countdown Craft

Inside: An easy DIY Snowman Countdown Craft for kids looking forward to Christmas!

My kids are so excited about Christmas, they will ask me every day in December if it was Christmas. Since 2 years ago, I have made a countdown activity every December as a fun way for my kids to visualize the number of days left till Christmas.

This snowman countdown craft is so easy to prepare, and I can't wait to share it with you all!

A fun way to countdown to Christmas

This Paper Plate Snowman Countdown Craft takes just minutes to put together and turns out so cute! The kid gets to turn the orange nose of the snowman to the next number each day. When the nose pointer is pointing at 25, it's Christmas Day! And the kid gets to practice counting from 1 to 25 too!

What do you need for this snowman countdown?

• 2 paper plates
• Black and orange cardstock paper
• A small brad pin
• Basic stationery like a pair of scissors, stapler and glue

We have a video tutorial here to show you how we made this Snowman Countdown Craft. Or simply follow the instructions below:

• Write 1 to 25 along the edge of one of the paper plate (use only 2/3 of the paper plate).

• Cut out 5 small black circles for the buttons and the eyes.
• Cut a black hat for the snowman.
• Stick 2 circles on the paper plate with numbers as the eyes for the snowman.
• Then attach the hat on the head with stapler or glue.

• Cut an orange nose (like a carrot shape).
• Poke a small hole in the nose and another hole in the centre of the paper plate face.
• Attach the orange nose to the paper plate face with a brad pin.

• Stick the remaining 3 black circles on the second paper plate as the buttons for the snowman.
• Attach the head to the body and the snowman is ready!
