Craft Idea: Super Simple Snowman Paper Chain

Make this super simple snowman chain and then decorate it with an assortment of craft supplies!  Make lots of these chains with a group of kids and then string them together around the room for a winter wonderland!

You will need:

  • thin white paper (we used an 8.5 x 11 piece of printer paper)
  • pen or pencil
  • small circular object and larger circular object to trace
  • scissors
  • decorating supplies

What to do:

  1. Cut 8.5 x 11 paper in half length wise, and tape together end-to-end, making a 4.25 x 22 ” piece
  2. Trace large cicle and then small circle at one end, to make a snowman shape.  The edge of the large bottom circle should be right at the very edge of your paper
