Snowman
Toddler · 2–3A jolly snowman with a hat and a carrot nose. Three round snowballs stack up to make the body, with a hat and nose to color too. It is a cheerful way to talk about winter, snow, and staying warm. Print it on A4 or US Letter, or color it online with tap-to-fill. A cozy fit for a winter theme at home or in the classroom.
Circles stacked up
A snowman is circles of decreasing size stacked on top of each other, which makes it the clearest size-ordering image a child will meet. Biggest at the bottom, smallest at the top — and asking why it has to be that way round produces a genuinely good answer from most five-year-olds.
The hat and nose are separate regions and the only coloured parts of an otherwise white subject, which means this page needs less colour than most and children often find that satisfying rather than disappointing.
Colouring something white
A snowman is the one page where leaving areas blank is the correct answer, and that is a useful thing for a child to encounter. Not everything needs filling in. Outlining the body in light blue or grey to show it against the page is what an older child usually works out for themselves.
Frequently asked questions
- How do you colour a white subject?
- Mostly by leaving it alone. A light blue or grey edge separates the snowman from the page without turning it a colour it should not be, and working that out is a real step in a child's thinking.
- What age is this page for?
- Two to five. Simple stacked shapes, with the hat and nose giving small spots of colour.
