A very large snowman for your kitchen! This is so easy to do!
I made ours an interactive snowman.
I cut out the following pieces from craft foam sheets.
- 2 large black circles [eyes]
- 3 medium black circles [buttons]
- 5 small black circles [mouth]
- 1 orange triangle [nose]
If you don’t have the craft foam sheets, construction or scrapbook paper would work for this too! That’s what I saw done at “Crafting” my Talents.
My foam is self-adhesive. Potentially, I could have just stuck them onto the fridge like that and would have been even easier.
Instead, I cut out a little circle in the middle of the sticky paper and stuck on a craft magnet [Thanks Craftprojectideas.com for them!]. It would be even easier with self-adhesive craft magnets!
A snowman needs a scarf too, right?
Take some of that leftover wrapping paper, the scraps work well, or just a 3 inch strip off the end of a roll does the trick too.
Simply cut the wrapping paper in long strips to form the scarf. I taped the scarf in place.
Ta-da, you’ve made a snowman!
Now let the kids have fun making silly faces with the pieces!
Counting pieces adds a little learning to the activity!
Henry counted the number of mouth pieces and buttons on the snowman!
Bonus: It made me clean off my fridge! I think this will have to be done every year just for that sole reason!
Henry is 3 years old.

Really cute! From the thumbnail I thought it was a paper bag puppet because of the rectangular shape. The fridge snowman is a great idea!
Cute idea! I wonder what a negative snowman would look like since we have a black fridge, lol
I really love this idea! What a great way to entertain your children in the kitchen.
So making one of these this week love it !
So awesome. So clever. Thanks for sharing on Monday Madness.
This is awesome! I love that you made magnets so your kids can play with him. My kids would think this is awesome. Now how to change my black fridge to white??
So cute!! Love that it's interactive!
This is cute! I took the cheater's way out and bought magnetic fridge sets at Dollar Tree. They loved mixing up Santa's and the Snowman's pieces, and the reindeer turned into a dog!
This is adorable! It would be a great frugal gift to give a neighbor family as well
Jamie, I absolutely love this fridge! So simple but soo cute! Thanks for linking it up to my Winter Fun party. I've include in my latest Five Fun ideas post. http://www.cometogetherkids.com/2012/01/five-fun-ideas-with-snowman-theme.html
I'm glad I hopped over, I didn't realize those were magnets! So awesome- best project ever!
It might be even easier to get magnetic tape in a tape dispenser (3/4″ wide at Hobby Lobby for 10′). I used it on foam shapes I cut out for my grandaughter to use on a cookie sheet or pie tin like the “old” color form shapes. The foam sheets are so lightweight that you don’t need much tape.
I’m gonna have to look into that tape – I never knew there was such a thing! I think that’d be super slick for a lot of activities!
I love the fridge, I’m sure the kids do too!
