Here's a clever winter drawing trick — the number 8 turns perfectly into a snowman! The two stacked circles of the 8 become the snowman's body and head. This guide shows the number-8 snowman with a focus on fun winter accessories. Parikshet shows you how step by step.

🖍️ What You Need

  • Pencil and eraser
  • Black, orange, and blue markers
  • White paper
  • Coloured markers for the scarf and hat

How to Draw a Snowman from the Number 8

  1. Write a large number 8 — draw a big number 8. The bottom circle becomes the snowman's body, and the top circle becomes the head.
  2. Round out the circles — make the two circles of the 8 into smooth snowball shapes, the bottom one bigger than the top.
  3. Add the face — coal eyes and a coal smile (small dots) on the top circle, and an orange carrot nose.
  4. Add coal buttons — three coal dots down the front of the body circle.
  5. Draw the stick arms — two twig arms poking out from the sides of the body.
  6. Add a winter hat and scarf — a top hat or bobble hat on the head, and a colourful scarf around the neck (where the two circles meet).
  7. Add snowy details — falling snowflakes and a snowy ground line.
  8. Colour — white snowman, black coal and hat, orange nose, a bright scarf.
💡 Parikshet's Tip: The number-8 snowman is one of the easiest number-drawing tricks because the two stacked circles of the 8 are ALREADY the perfect snowman shape — bottom circle for the body, top for the head. Just round them out, add a face and accessories, and the snowman appears!

🌟 Did You Know?

The biggest snowman (actually a snow-WOMAN) ever built was over 37 metres tall — as high as a 12-storey building — and was made in Maine, USA, in 2008, using trees for arms and giant wreaths for eyes! Snowmen have been made for hundreds of years; there are even drawings of snowmen from over 600 years ago. The number-8 trick is a fun way to draw one quickly any time of year.

Numbers That Become Things

  • 8 → a snowman (two stacked circles = body and head)
  • 2 → a swan (the curve becomes the neck)
  • 7 → a dinosaur (the angle becomes head and neck)
  • 9 → a mouse (loop = body, stem = tail)

🎯 Try This: Build a Snowman Family

  1. Use the number 8 to draw a few snowmen of different sizes.
  2. Give each one different accessories — hats, scarves, earmuffs.
  3. Add a snowy background with falling snow.
  4. Draw a sun starting to peek out, beginning to melt one of them!
