The perfect winter activity for kids! This fun printable will give your kids some fun non-screen time as they use play dough to make various “snowman parts” and then place them on the mat, depending on what they roll! Grab our free printable roll a snowman play dough activity mat for your next party or snowy afternoon!
I have a new play dough printable mat for you! The printables that I shared during the holiday season were incredibly popular downloads. Check out the printable play dough mats that I have already posted:

- Roll a Skeleton Play Dough Mat Printable
Kids will practice fine motor skills as they sculpt the pieces. This activity would work great for a party activity or as a boredom buster during the cold winter months.
The printable activity mat is an easy-to-open PDF and you can print as many copies as you need.

Roll a Snowman Play Dough Mat Printable Supplies
You will need the following supplies:
- Roll a Snowman play dough mat
- Play-Doh (or homemade play dough or any type of craft clay)
- Laminator (optional)
- Dice (just one will do, or one per player!)
We laminated our play dough mats to make them ever more sturdy and durable. We have this laminator and it works great for home projects like this one.
How to Play
1. Make the snowman pieces in play dough before beginning game play.
2. Kids take turns rolling a die to see what body part or accessory they get to put on the mat. If they roll a part that has already been placed on the mat, they can roll again until they get a number needed to complete the snowman scene.
This game can be played by several kids using one mat, or individually with each child using his or her own mat!
I love keeping easy activity mats like this one on hand for those rainy (or snowy!) days or sick days or even for holiday activities. Sometimes you just need a few minutes of activity for the kids as you get dinner ready or transition from one thing to another. These play dough mats are screen-free and really get them to use their brains, all while having a lot of fun.
You could let them use basic clay/play dough tools (ie a plastic knife and roller) with this mat to cut out the shapes. If you are a teacher, this would be an awesome station to set up in your classroom for a holiday party or at any point during the winter months.
