If cold and snowy weather is beginning to make your family feel a bit cooped up, you can put the freeze on the winter blahs with this cheery reminder of warmer days to come.
Materials
- Snow person
- Outgrown dress or large shirt
- Sticks
- Mittens or gloves
- Nuts, stones, or vegetables for facial features
- Summery hat and kerchief
- Sunglasses
- Basket
- Plastic flowers
Instructions
- First, build a basic snow person shape (you might need to use a thinner middle section to accommodate the clothing), then dress it in an outgrown dress or large shirt (a button-up is easiest), stuffing it with snow as needed.
- Insert strong sticks in the sleeves for arms and add mittens or gloves (we used oven mitts) for hands.
- Add some features, such as nuts or stones for eyes, lettuce hair, a red pepper mouth, or a mushroom nose, as we did with ours. Then top off your snow lady with a summery hat and kerchief, sunglasses, and a basket of plastic flowers supported from behind with a stick.
