Snowman Glyph

Inside: A free and very cute snowman glyph.

Update: Years ago, Karen, at Froggy Friends Fun, posted a free snowman glyph. It used to be in her Teacher Notebook Store but that site doesn’t exist anymore.

So I’m giving you some directions (see below) I found in one of my Primary Success books, which you’re welcome to use.

You definitely need to try this winter snowman glyph ’cause it’s ever so cute, fun, and easy to do. The kids enjoyed making ours and I absolutely LOVE them. Check it out:

DIRECTIONS:

** Please note, these directions don’t match the pictures above, but they’ll still make cute snowmen. The kids can either cut and paste the various items or they can paint them on. A combination of the two would also look great! **

1. Sponge paint white tempera onto black construction paper
2. Glue on two different sized paper plates to make a snowman (or paper circles are fine too)
3. Buttons: If you like mittens best, give the snowman two buttons. If you like to wear gloves,
   give the snowman three buttons.
4. Broom or shovel: If you like snow, give the snowman a broom. If you don’t like snow, give
   the snowman a shovel.
5. Arms (black sticks): Your favourite season….. Arms by his sides = winter, both arms
   straight out = spring, both arms up = summer, one arm up and one arm down = fall.
6. The shape of the eyes tells your favourite winter activity: circles = sledding, triangles =
   skating, squares = skiing, rectangles = building a snowman
7. The carrot nose; point to the left if you have a coat and pants, point to the right if you
   have a one-piece snowsuit.
8. Mouth: make four black dots if you wear a scarf, 5 black dots if you do not wear a scarf.
9. Scarf: Colour the snowman’s scarf your favourite colour.
