We had a very, veRY, VERY cold winter. We did make plenty of snow angles, and snow men, and snow forts when we were allowed outside. But, there were a few days which school was canceled, not because of snow, but below freezing temps. It hurt to just get this snow into our house. Yes, we're used to this weather. But, it doesn't mean we have to love it.

 

We used a large plastic bowl to bring in a generous amount of snow and stored it in our bathtub. Throw on some gloves, even though you're inside...it's still snow. Using cookie sheets as a protector, we globbed our snow and began to create our indoor snowmen. We made Frosty's hat from construction paper, arms from straws, and buttons/eyes from chocolate chips. We had a overstock of red yarn to easily use for a warm smile.

 

Kids had a ball being able to "play" in the snow. We had an even better time melting the snow in the bathtub. Our Frosty's were displayed on our patio table for the rest of winter...and our one cookie sheet froze to the table!
