How to draw a snowman, step by step

A top hat, a round face and a carrot nose, built up in six steps. The snowman uses simple shapes, so it is the easiest lesson to start with for a 5-year-old.

How to use it

  1. Print the sheet and put blank paper next to it.
  2. Start with the face shape from step 1.
  3. Add the hat, then the eyes, nose and smile, one step at a time.
  4. Color the hat and scarf in any colors you like.
Tip: Once your child has the face, ask them to draw two more snowmen in different sizes to make a snow family.

This is day 6 of the 24-day Christmas drawing countdown.
