Today, we’re going to have fun drawing a snowman inside a present! Grab your markers, paper, and coloring tools, and let’s get started!
Folding the Paper: First, fold your paper in half. Make sure the top and bottom edges meet, then press down to make a crease. This will help us with our drawing.
Making the Flaps: Take the top part of the paper and fold it back up to the top edge. Do the same on the other side. When you open it, your paper should look like a book!
Protecting Your Table: Put some extra paper under your drawing paper to keep your table clean when using markers.
Outline the Present: Draw a big square that goes over the fold. Start from the top left corner and draw a line down, then a line across for the bottom.
Finish the Shape: Draw the right side of the present and connect the top with a line.
Add the Ribbon: Draw two lines down the middle for the ribbon. Make an upside-down “U” for the bow’s knot, and add lines for the loops. You can add some lines inside the bow for detail.
Decorate the Present: Add your own designs like spots or stripes to make your present special!
Open the Present: Flatten your paper to draw easily. Draw a line for the bottom of the lid and make the bottom of the present a bit taller than the fold.
Create the Snow: Draw a bumpy line on top to look like snow. Make it fluffy with curves!
Draw the Snowman’s Head: Above the snow, draw a big circle for the snowman’s head. Leave room for a hat!
Add the Face: Draw a sideways “V” for the carrot nose and finish with a curve. Add two circles for eyes with smaller circles inside for sparkle. Use little circles for a coal smile.
Add Accessories: Draw a scarf with two lines and a curve. Then, draw the snowman’s body and connect it to the present.
Finishing Touches: Add buttons with circles and a hat with two lines and a curve. Draw zigzag lines for stick arms and add fingers if you like!
Now it’s time to color! Use your favorite colors for the present, snowman, and background. Take your time and enjoy coloring!
Great job on drawing a snowman inside a present! We hope you had fun and added your own creative touches. Show your masterpiece to your friends and family. Happy drawing!
Snowman Observation Walk: Take a walk outside or look out the window and observe the snow (if available) or pictures of snow. Notice how snow piles up and how it looks on different surfaces. Discuss with an adult or a friend how the snow in real life is similar or different from the snow you drew on your snowman. What shapes do you see in the snow? Can you find any patterns?
Present Design Challenge: Using different materials like colored paper, stickers, or fabric scraps, create your own unique design for a present. Think about patterns like stripes, polka dots, or even your favorite shapes. Once you’re done, share your design with someone and explain why you chose those colors and patterns. How does your design make the present special?
Snowman Story Time: Imagine your snowman inside the present comes to life! What adventures would it have? Draw a picture of your snowman doing something fun, like playing in the snow or having a party with other snowmen. Share your story and drawing with a friend or family member. What would your snowman say or do?
