Fingerprint snowman snow globe crafts are a simple and cozy way to celebrate winter with young children at home. This printable gives you an easy, low-prep seasonal activity that works beautifully for quiet afternoons, family craft time, and simple holiday moments. It also fits perfectly into classroom settings as a winter or Christmas activity when you want something calm and creative.
Children decorate the snowman and snowy scene using their fingerprints, turning a simple black-and-white page into a one-of-a-kind winter keepsake. Every snow globe turns out a little different, which is part of what makes this activity so special. It’s creative without being overwhelming and calm enough for even the youngest learners.
What You’ll Need
This winter, fingerprint art activity uses just a few simple supplies:
- Fingerprint Snowman Snow Globe printable (end of the post)
- White cardstock (recommended for sturdier art)
- Washable paint or ink pads in soft winter colors
- Baby wipes or a damp cloth for easy clean-up
- Optional: crayons or markers for extra decorating
How to Make the Snow Globe
- Print the snow globe page on white cardstock.
- Set out small amounts of washable paint or open ink pads in light winter shades such as pale blue, gray, or soft red.
- Invite children to dip one finger into the paint and gently press it onto the snowman and snowy areas inside the globe.
- Encourage children to place fingerprints wherever they like — on the snowman’s body, falling snow, or the base of the globe.
- Set the artwork aside to dry completely.
- Optional: Once dry, add extra details with crayons or markers.
