Snowman soup is the winter treat bag every class, scout troop and office swaps in December: cocoa, marshmallows and a candy cane in a clear bag, with a poem on top. This page prints the topper with each child’s name already on it, so a whole class set is one typed list and one PDF, not thirty handwritten tags.
What prints
| Part | What is on it |
|---|---|
| Front | a snowman in a top hat and a red scarf, SNOWMAN SOUP, and the child’s name |
| Back | the poem you chose, the tag (add hot water, stir with the candy cane) and who it is from |
| The sheet | six toppers for craft bags, or three for snack bags, with a solid line to cut and a dashed line to fold |
Filling the bags
- Fill each clear bag with a packet of hot cocoa mix, mini marshmallows, a few chocolate chips and a small candy cane.
- Cut out the toppers along the solid border; fold each in half on the dashed line.
- Fold it over the top of the bag with the snowman and the name in front, and staple it twice.
The amount of hot water is the one on the cocoa packet; the tag leaves it to the packet on purpose.
What it costs
Nothing. No account, no watermark, no limit on names. The names never leave your device.
For the drinks, the water bottle labels put a melted snowman and each name on every bottle. For Christmas Eve, the reindeer food topper prints the same way with a reindeer and an oats-only poem for the lawn. More for the class party is on the Christmas shelf.
Questions
What goes in snowman soup?
A packet of hot cocoa mix, a handful of mini marshmallows, a few chocolate chips and a small candy cane to stir with, in a clear treat bag. The topper folds over the top and staples shut; the tag on the back says to add hot water and stir with the candy cane.
Are the poems the traditional snowman soup poem?
No, they are this site's own: a cozy one for a frosty day, a thank-you for a teacher and a melted snowman for children. Each fits four short lines on the back of the topper, above the tag and the line saying who it is from.
What size bags does it fit?
Two sizes: a 3 × 4¾ in craft bag, six toppers to a sheet, and a 6½ × 3¼ in snack bag, three to a sheet. The topper is exactly as wide as the bag and folds in half at the dashed line.
Can I make one for every child in the class?
Yes. Type the whole class list, one name a line, up to 60: each name gets its own topper, six to a sheet with craft bags, so a class of 24 is four sheets.
Are the names uploaded?
No. The toppers are drawn and the PDF made in your browser. Closing the tab erases them.
