Introducing – The Yeti!

The last of my buildable characters for Create the Holidays 2023 is The Yeti, and I think he might be my favorite!

He would be a great activity for a themed party, in addition to my Small Foot Party Printables that I created many moons ago!

The Yeti is an ape-like creature purported to inhabit the Himalayan mountain range in Asia. In western popular culture, the creature is commonly referred to as the Abominable Snowman – Wikipedia

If you are a regular on my blog you’ll notice that my buildable characters have a cute chubby style.

And if they are animals they are anthropomorphic, which basically means that they have human traits – like standing on two legs instead of four.

I introduced my cute chubby roly-poly Christmas and Winter characters several years ago, and the set currently includes 18 characters.

I’m continuing to add new characters that I hope you will love as much as the others!

The Christmas and Winter buildable characters are part of a wider set of other characters that are a fun free activity to do at home, in an activity group or club, during homeschool, or in the classroom!

I’ve provided the links to all of my other buildable characters at the end of this blog post.

I’ve created two sizes for this adorable free printable paper Yeti: 

• Regular size, with all of the pieces on one sheet of paper and creates a character around 4″/10cm tall. (This is the image at the top of the post.)
• Large size with the pieces spread over several sheets. This creates a character around 12″/30cm tall.

Where Are The Downloads?

• Both sizes for the character are now in one printable document.
• You will find the download links further down this page surrounded by a purple box.
• Tap the purple download buttons to save the file(s) to your device.
• I’ve provided two paper sizes – A4 and US Letter (8.5″ x 11″) – use the size that is appropriate for your printer.
• Want the black-and-white version of Thet Yeti? Find the Printable Color and Build a Yeti Template in my shop! (Coming Soon!)

The free printable winter papercraft is really fun – not just for kids, but for adults too!

I love constructing buildable characters after I’ve designed them! A digital representation is shown below.

How To Use the Build a Yeti Printable

The regular-size printable is for children that are more skilled at cutting.

The large size should be a lot easier for younger children. 

Or you can cut them out for them.

Of course, you know your children, so will know what suits them best!

Included in this printable paper Yeti craft are the following pieces:

• Body
• Face
• Belly
• Arms
• Feet
• Horns

Once cut, place the pieces in the correct order to figure out where everything goes before sticking them in place.

You can stick the pieces together with a glue stick, or sticky tape.

I like using this roller glue as it is so easy to use and has less sticky mess!

Other Ways To Use This Printable!

• For an extra crafty dimension, why not mount the character onto a larger piece of paper and use other craft materials to embellish it? For example, glitter, furry fabric, craft foam, or tissue paper to name a few.
• You can use a laminator and laminate the pieces if you like and use them over and over again.
• Why not use split pins to construct the characters instead of glue so that the character becomes moveable!
• Of you could use popsicle sticks and regular size characters to make little puppets for winter role-playing or storytelling.
• You could attach the characters to some ribbon or string and hang them as bunting around the room for a party!
• Or why not number each of the pieces and turn it into a fun game with dice? Throw the dice and each time a number is rolled, you take that piece – the first one to complete their character is the winner!
• Most of all, just have fun with this Yeti printable!

Download your chosen printable from the list further down the page (they’re surrounded by a purple box), and print onto thick paper or thin card. Cut the pieces out, then build a Yeti!
