Prepare for Fun in the Snow: How to Make a Snowman Kit

Get ready for the snow and building family memories while building a Snowman! You can make this snowman kit during nap-time!

In the South, we do not get a lot of snow, but when we do we want to make the most of it. I'll never forget last Christmas, we got snow on Christmas day! We had so much snow that we were able to have a snowball fight and build a snowman!!!

Last year I scrambled to make a snowman face (luckily Santa brought LilMan and Em bubble gum coal, and Ben big lumps of coal and we had strawberries). However, this year I'm ready! I made another naptime creation.

Please respect the copyright on this creation. If you make it, make it for yourself and not for resale, reproduction and/or distribution. If you are interested in resale, reproduction, and/or distribution please contact me at Stephanie@grinninglikeanidiot.com.
