How I did it: Well, last year it snowed in my town. It NEVER snows here. Anyway, I scraped snow off of the picnic table in my backyard and made a snowman. Three snowballs, small, medium, and large. The cliche thing is carrot nose and coal for eyes and buttons, but you don't have to do that. In my case, we have gravel in the yard, so I used those for eyes and buttons, a baby carrot for the nose (he was small because there wasn't very much snow), and some twigs for his arms. I named him Norman and put him in the freezer. The snow was melting. Besides that weirdness, it's not hard to make a little snowman. The bigger they are, the harder it is. Don't go trying to make the biggest snowman ever on your first try.

Lessons & tips: It's not too hard. Since you're probably making the snowman outside, you can use stuff you find to make the snowman's features. You just have to have enough snow to make three snowballs. You get to decide how big as long as you have enough snow. If you're somewhere that it doesn't normally snow, you might want to put your snowfella in the freezer. I don't know why I did it, but he did last longer that way. Besides. If you want let him melt with dignity, you might want to let him set up first. I don't really know why I'm providing instructions. If you need them, then okay, but, building snowmen isn't about instructions. It's about winter fun!
