Our Little House in the Country

Looking for a Winter or Christmassy craft for children, then why not try out this snowman stained glass window activity.

Snowman Stained Glass Windows – Christmas and Winter crafts for kids

What you need:

• Dark coloured paper – blue or black
• Tissue Paper – variety of colours
• Scissors
• Glue sticks
• Pencil
• Hole puncher
• googly eyes
• Stars

What you do:

• Draw your design onto the dark coloured paper
• Cut out the design, I actually did this for my children (5 & 2), I usually insist on them doing the cutting but this part of the project can be a little tricky for little fingers.
• Punch lots of little holes all over the sheet for snowflake or use a snowflake punch.
• Cut or tear the tissue paper in smaller pieces.
• Cut a piece of white tissue paper to the size of the original sheet of paper
• Glue around the edges of each space
• Stick the tissue paper onto the page.
• Stick the white piece of tissue paper so that it fully covers the back of the sheet of paper
• Flip the page over and glue on googly eyes, a nose and a mouth (scraps of coloured paper) and stars for buttons on the snowman’s body.
• Display the finished snowman on a window!

For an alternative to a snowman why not try our Christmas tree version of this project.

Have lots of festive fun!
