I’m round, two rounds in fact and cute as a button, made with fresh snow and bits and bobs that no one is using. I don’t know what brought me to life; was it the toque placed upon my head? Perhaps it was just the love that was put into creating me.

If there is snow, there will be snowpeople; it is a law of the universe. Pets and people cannot resist taking a small handful of snow and rolling it on the snow-covered ground to see how big a snowball they can make. Once that is done, the next step is to add a face and a scarf or hat.

With such a variety of snowmen, there are endless possibilities for stories and play. Enjoy the season with a snow family in your yard, but don’t try to bring them inside.
