How to Make a Snowman with Big Snowballs

Building a snowman is a fun winter activity! Let’s learn how to make a snowman step by step using big snowballs!

What You Will Need:

  • Soft, packable snow
  • Gloves to keep your hands warm
  • A carrot for the nose
  • Buttons or small stones for the eyes and mouth
  • Stick for the arms
  • Hat or scarf to decorate (optional)

Steps to Build Your Snowman:

  1. Find Good Snow: Look for soft, packable snow. This snow sticks together well when you roll it into balls.
  2. Make the Bottom Snowball: Start by making a large ball of snow. Roll the snow on the ground, packing it together tightly as it gets bigger. This will be the bottom of your snowman, so make it the biggest!
  3. Create the Middle Snowball: Next, make a second, slightly smaller snowball for the middle part. Again, roll it in the snow, packing it tightly. Once it's big enough, carefully lift it and place it on top of the bottom snowball.
  4. Form the Head Snowball: Finally, make a small snowball for the head. This one should be the smallest and will sit on top of the middle snowball.
  5. Decorate Your Snowman: Now that your snowman is built, it’s time to give it a face! Use the carrot for the nose, buttons or stones for the eyes and mouth, and sticks for the arms. You can even give your snowman a hat or a scarf for extra style!
  6. Enjoy Your Creation: Stand back and admire your snowman! You can take pictures with it or even make up a story about your snowman!

Remember to have fun and be creative! Each snowman can look different based on how you want it to be. Happy snowman building!
