Smiling Snowman with Top Hat, Candy Cane and Gift

A cheerful snowman stands on a small mound of snow with a tall black top hat decorated with a holly leaf and berries. He has closed, happy eyes, a dotted smile and a small round nose. A striped scarf with wavy lines wraps around his neck, and the fringed end hangs down on his left side. In one hand he holds a big candy cane like a walking stick, and his other arm is stretched out to carry a wrapped present with a dark ribbon and bow. Three buttons run down his middle. The word December is written across the top in clean outline letters. Try using the candy cane stripes and scarf patterns to practice alternating colors, then let kids pick a bright wrapping paper design for the gift. This free printable also works well for a December calendar or a morning writing prompt.
