Easy Creative Snowman Ideas

If it's snowing outside, chances are there will be a free snow day in your kid's future. Part of the fun of a winter snow storm or snow fall, is the chance to make a snowman. Traditionally, a snowman includes making three round snowballs, one bigger than the next.

First, you would create the biggest snow ball which would act as the snowman's base. Then, a medium-sized ball of snow to place in the center. Finally, carefully place the smallest snowball of the three on to act as the snowman's head. Now, you have a blank canvas for creating your snowman.

Traditionally, people make snow people using tips from the popular Christmas song, "Frosty The Snowman", who's lyrics include:

"Frosty the snowman, was a jolly, happy soul, with a corncob pipe and a button nose, and two eyes made out of coal"...

You don't have to make a snowman with those features though. Some people place scarves and hats on their snowmen, and many people use carrots as noses. You and your children can have a lot of fun building creative people out of snow. They can take odds and ends from crafting supplies, or old clothing to make their own interesting snowmen.
