Instructions
Enter your email address to subscribe to my blog and download the free printable below. ⬇️
Print pages 2-5. If you are preparing the hunt for more than one player, each player will need a winter scene (p. 2) printout and snowman parts 1-6.
Cut out all six clues. You only need one set of clues. Choose an option for clue #6 based on whether you are hiding a treat at the end.
Cut out all six snowman parts. I cut the two eyes out as one piece. Paper clip each part to its corresponding clue. For example, part #1 goes with clue #1. *If you are preparing this hunt for many players I recommend glueing the clues to envelopes and placing the parts inside the envelope.
Hide all clues and parts in hiding places listed. Hide a treat with clue #6 if desired.
Give player(s) the winter scene printout, which has the first clue, to begin the hunt.
As players find each clue and snowman part, have them glue or tape the parts onto the winter scene to build a snowman.
