Hi there, fellow teachers and parents! I’m so excited to share this Personalized Snowman Name Craft with you. It’s one of those activities that’s as fun for me to create as it is for kids to complete! As a teacher, I’m always looking for ways to make learning personal and meaningful, and this craft hits the mark.
Here’s the idea:
Each child gets to build their very own snowman, one letter at a time. The head starts things off, and then each snowball adds a letter from their name. Not only does this help with name recognition (a huge win for younger learners!), but it also brings in creativity and fine motor skills as they color, cut, and assemble their snowman.

When I first thought of this, I was inspired by how much kids love crafts that feel personal. Seeing their own names come to life on a snowman is magical for them, and it’s a perfect way to keep their engagement high during the busy winter months. Plus, it’s flexible! You can use it in:
- Name-learning activities for early learners.
- Winter-themed classroom decorations (a whole snowman name village, anyone?).
- At-home family craft time on a chilly afternoon.
I recommend printing the templates on white paper so kids can color them however they like. But if you’re short on time, colored paper works great too. Add some glitter, stickers, or cotton balls for that extra festive touch, and you’ve got yourself a classroom full of unique, colorful snowmen.
When my students finished theirs, we displayed them on the classroom windows, and they LOVED seeing their names up there as part of a snowy scene. It’s amazing how something so simple can light up their faces.
I hope you and your kids enjoy this craft as much as I enjoyed creating it. It’s not just a snowman; it’s a fun way to learn, create, and celebrate winter together!
