The Making of Frosty the Snowman!
First, there must be lots of snow...this year we had lots of snow!

The girls made this wonderful snow man one evening in the dark!! This project was truely a challenge. Snowball snow is quite heavy. To get the middle(tummy) and the top(head) they had to make a ramp. We have been studying ancient Egypt so this helped them with the idea of a ramp--I suppose. Once the snowballs are in place (Our Frosty is at least 7 foot tall, mind you!!), he must be decorated. Forks from my flatwear drawer were used to secure the buttons(apples) into place. The carrot nose was attached as well as two strong (stick like) arms -- later mittens were added. Then the eyes, hmmm, it seems that they glow in the dark-- truly!!! Christianna topped him with the knitted wool hat she had just made for Steve! That night the girls strung popcorn and cranberries to drape around him. 'Frosty' blessed us and our visitors for several weeks!
