My grocery bags have been piling up and in need of recycling. So I adapted this Grocery Bag Snowman from the Grocery Bag Bunny idea we got from Kids Craft Weekly. This little snowman used up a bunch of my bags and we didn’t even get cold or wet. He even comes with a brown scarf!
Supplies for Grocery Bag Snowman:
- plastic grocery bags – 10-15 or even more for a bigger snoman
- black & orange marker
- tape or rubber bands
Open one bag and stuff all the rest of the bags inside, save one for a scarf! Then tie a knot holding them in. Now section them off with your fingers into 3 sizes and secure each section with tape or a rubberband, fold the tied end towards the back. Take your markers and draw a cute little face. We then used our one brown grocery bag as a scarf, tying it around it’s neck. (UPDATE: children should be supervised while crafting with plastic bags for safety reasons.)
You’re done. Enjoy playing with this snowman inside the house today!

How cute! Lets us have some fun with those bags before getting rid of them!
What a wonderful idea, I love it !
What a cute idea! Now my son can build a snowman- even though we don’t get snow- he asks if he can build a snowman almost everyday:) love this idea!
Adorable!
That is a great (and little finger friendly) idea! I have a post on my site for how to organize all those bags, too, since I struggled with stuffing them into a cabinet!
