What Happens in Winter?

Winter is a very special time of year when the weather gets much colder, and in many places, we see a lot of snow! Snow is like a fluffy, white blanket that covers the ground, and it makes everything look beautiful and magical.

What is a Snowman?

A snowman is a fun thing that many kids like to build when there is snow. It’s made out of three big balls of snow, stacked on top of each other. You can use:

• A big ball for the bottom - This is the largest part and helps keep the snowman standing up.
• A medium ball for the middle - This part goes on top of the big ball.
• A small ball for the head - This is the smallest part that sits on top of the middle.

How to Build a Snowman

Here’s a step-by-step guide to building your very own snowman:

1. Dress Warmly: Before you go outside, make sure to put on a warm coat, hat, gloves, and boots to keep cozy in the cold!
2. Find Enough Snow: Look for a good spot with a lot of snow. Pack the snow together tightly so that it sticks.
3. Make the Base: Start by rolling a large ball of snow until it gets really big for the bottom of your snowman.
4. Build the Middle: Make a medium-sized ball next and place it on top of the big ball.
5. Add the Head: Use a smaller ball for the head and place it on the middle ball.

Decorating Your Snowman

Now comes the fun part! You can decorate your snowman with:

• Carrots: Use a carrot for the nose!
• Buttons: Find button stones or small rocks for the eyes and buttons.
• A Scarf: Wrap a scarf around the snowman’s neck for extra style!
• Branches: Use branches for arms, so your snowman can wave hello!

Enjoy Winter!

Building a snowman is one of the best things to do in winter. It’s a fun activity to do with family and friends when the snow falls. Plus, when spring comes, and the sun shines, your snowman will slowly melt away, making way for flowers and warmer weather!

So, go outside, enjoy the snow, and have fun building your very own snowman this winter!
