Waving Snowman Tracing Worksheet
Three snowballs stacked from big to small are most of this snowman, and each one is a long smooth curve that comes back to where it started. The top hat adds straight sides and corners. The carrot nose is a short pointed shape and the scarf mixes curves with straight edges. Every dashed line begins at an orange dot. The eyes, the four smile dots and the three buttons are solid gray circles with nothing to trace.
Easy: one big snowman
With one snowman over most of the easy sheet for ages 3 to 5, the snowballs make the easiest start, and the twig arms end in little forks, good practice for short, quick strokes. Each side branch has a dot of its own. On the right side, the twig arm and the hanging end of the scarf start at two dots side by side. Check which line each one begins.
Medium: big, then small, then freehand
The same shapes come back at a much smaller size on the medium sheet for ages 6 to 8, where three small snowmen line up below a big dashed one. Their twig arms have no orange dot and the nose is a thin solid line, while the snowballs, hat, hat band and scarf keep their dots. With fit to page off and the A4 or US Letter file at 100 percent, those small snowmen keep clear, even dashes. A dashed box marked Now you waits at the end for a snowman drawn without any guide.
Skills practiced & tips
- Show your child the orange dot on each line and say start here before every stroke.
- Trace the three big snowballs first; they are the easiest shapes on the page.
- The right twig arm and the hanging end of the scarf start at two orange dots side by side, so check which line each dot begins.
- Keep the twig arms straight by moving the whole arm, not just the fingers.
- Offer a chunky crayon on the easy sheet and a sharpened pencil for the small snowmen.
Snowman fun facts
- A snowflake begins high in a cloud, when water vapor turns into an ice crystal around a tiny speck of dust or pollen.
- In very cold, dry air, snowflakes tend to be small and powdery, while larger, clumpy flakes fall when the air is near freezing.
Classroom ideas
- Preschool (ages 3 to 5): trace the easy snowman with a finger in the air first, then with a crayon on paper.
- Kindergarten: count the round shapes after tracing, three snowballs, two eyes, four smile dots and three buttons.
- Grade 1: after drawing in the Now you box, students add a label for the hat, scarf and nose.

Frequently asked questions
How do the easy and medium snowman sheets compare?
The easy sheet, for ages 3 to 5, has one big dashed snowman. The medium sheet, for ages 6 to 8, has a big snowman on top, three small ones underneath and an empty box marked Now you.
Why are the eyes, smile and buttons gray?
They are small filled circles, so they are printed solid gray with no orange dot and nothing to trace. They make the face easy to recognize from the start, and children can color them in once the dashed lines are done.
What can children count on the snowman?
Three snowballs, two eyes, four smile dots and three buttons. Counting the round shapes after tracing works well in kindergarten.
