How to use this worksheet

  • Put the crayon on the large dot 1, the top of the snowman's head.
  • Follow the dashes around the right side of the head; at 4 the line pinches in for the neck.
  • Dots 5 to 11 go around the big body, with 8 at the bottom.
  • Dot 12 is the neck on the left, and 13 and 14 finish the head; close with 14 to 1.

What this worksheet teaches

Going around two rounded shapes of different sizes in one line trains the hand to make both small and large curved movements, the same shift children need later for small and large letters. The guide makes the numbers 11 to 14 manageable for four- and five-year-olds who can count aloud further than they can read. The narrow neck at dots 4 and 12 is a clear landmark, useful for talking about "head" and "body" while drawing.

Play idea

Build a snowman family. Next to the finished snowman, your child draws a smaller one freehand, copying the two-ball shape. Give each snowman something different, such as a hat, a scarf or earmuffs, and name them all.

Questions and answers

Questions from parents

Is fourteen dots too many for a 4-year-old?
With the dashed line it is usually fine: the guide does the searching, and the child practices the order. Short breaks are okay.
How is it different from the snowman for ages 5 to 6?
Same snowman and the same fourteen dots, but that one has no guide line.
Where does the snowman's scarf go?
Across the neck, between dots 4 and 12, the narrowest part of the outline.
