  2. Wow they look great, thanks for the ideas.
    We made paper case snowmen yesterday, and finished off our snowmen Christmas cards, it was a snowman kind of day 🙂 just a shame we couldn’t go in the garden and make a real one.

  3. What a great range of snowman activities. We haven’t made snowmen yet either.
    Thanks for hosting.

  4. Thank you so much for sharing our post! We had a lot of fun doing the snowman playdoh. We will have to try some of the others to go along with a snowman theme!
