There is nothing like a snowman
To make a person smile.
His eyes of coal, his carrot nose,
His pipe with so much style.
We all have special memories
Of fun in the snow and slush
And this will be renewed
With a little help from us!

Winter Wonderland Thoughts

Children are like snowflakes - no two are the same.
How does the person that drives the snowplow get to work in the mornings????
Home is where the snow falls.
Flakes 4 sale.
My heart belongs to old man winter.
Snowcones 5 cents.
Cold hands warm heart. 
Snowmen make your heart melt!
When it's cold outside, our memories keep us warm.
Let it Snow!

Snowed Inn...Vacancy !!!
Snowflakes are kisses from heaven... 
Snowmen aren't forever...but memories are...
There's nobuddy....like a snowbuddy !!!
There's no people.....like snowpeople !
Life is like a blanket of snow - be careful how you step on it - every step will show.
Why does the winter season seem much longer than all the other seasons?
Snowflakes are one of nature's most fragile things, but look at what they can do when they stick together.
There's No Business Like Snow Business.
Winter is "snow" much fun 

All I Need to Know about Life I Learned From a Snowman


It's okay if you're a little bottom heavy.
Hold your ground, even when the heat is on.
Wearing white is always appropriate.
Winter is the best of the four seasons.
It takes a few extra rolls to make a good midsection.
There's nothing better than a foul weather friend.
We're all made up of mostly water.
You know you've made it when they write a song about you.
Accessorize! Accessorize! Accessorize!
Avoid yellow snow.
Don't get too much sun.
It's embarrassing when you can't look down and see your feet.
It's fun to hang out in your front yard.
Always put your best foot forward.
There's no stopping you once you're on a roll.

A Snow Nut

You need a walnut and a hazelnut for this craft.  Paint both nuts white and let dry.  I used white exterior house paint. Glue the hazelnut to the flat bottom part of the walnut.  Add a plastic hat, googly eyes, and face features.  Tie yarn or ribbon or a strip of material around the join for the scarf. Add 3 mini pom poms for the buttons. If you are giving this ornament as a gift be sure that no one is allergic to nuts.
It was hard to scan this craft, but I hope the jpg gives you an idea of what it will look like.

 

Snowman repair kit

Being outside all day and night,
Can make me look a dreadful sight,
I melt, I break, I lose some parts,
Which tends to break some people’s hearts,
So here’s a repair kit just for you
To make your snowman look brand new!

This makes a cute gift for the snowman lover in your life.

Put 2 small twigs, a mini stick painted orange or a black bead (for the nose), 2 googly eyes, a plastic hat, and a strip of material into a baggie.  Attach the above poem.

 

Snowman Soup

Was told that you’ve been good this year,
Always glad to hear it
With freezing weather drawing near,
You’ll need to warm the spirit
So here’s a little Snowman soup
Complete with stirring stick
Add hot water, stir it slow
It’s sure to do the trick.

Put 1 pkt. Of hot chocolate mix, 3 Hershey kisses, 15 mini marshmallows, and 1 candy cane in a mug. 

 Melted Snowman

Glop hot glue into a pile on a cookie sheet. When it set glop some more  on top of it slightly off-center, for the head. While glue  is still warm, add hat, carrot, and beads for eyes. Let cool. You also might  want to do this on wax paper. Glue pinback on the back side.

 
This jpg was scanned looking down on it, but it does give you an idea of what it might look like. I did not use the eyes and carrot when I made this.

 
I made a snowman round and fat
And on his head I put a hat,
He sat out in the sun all day
And slowly melted all away. 
But I can tell just where he sat,
Because he didn't take his hat.

Melted Snowman
Last night I heard a knock
It was a snowman outside my door,
Asking if he could come inside
And play on the floor. . .
"Oh", he cried, "what I wouldn't do,
to sleep in a big warm bed!"
"But I'm forced to stand outside,
In the freezing cold instead...."
Next thing we knew, a cold wind blew
Mr. Snowman right through my door,
And now there's nothing left of him,
But a puddle on the floor.

Snowman Seeds 

After the first frost of a cold autumn night, 
Sow these seeds in a spot just right. 
With plenty of room that will allow to grow, 
Jolly round men made out of snow. 
These snowmen seeds are not easy to find, 
So plant them well and if you don't mind 
Share them with a friend because 
They came with love from heaven above

Wrap white mint candies in a baggie, tie with ribbon and add the poem.

 

Snowman poops

Choose one of the poems and attach it to a bag of mini white marshmallows, popcorn, or white tic tac mints.

So listen, here's the scoop...

So you get Snowman Poop.
Love, Santa

In the cold of winter when snow arrives,
All the snowman dance and feel alive. 
If you follow in their tracks, 
You will find little droppings from their cracks.
Round and white 
So sweet and light 
Eat one eat two 
And have sweet dreams tonight!

Santa checked his list,
Even checked it twice.

Haven't been very nice.

Santa came and went last night 
Traveling on his worldwide loop 
Because you weren't so good this year 
You get no coal just snowman poop 
Round and white so sweet and light 
Eat some and have good dreams tonight.
