Got snow?
Got a toddler?
Got a potato head toy?
Then you too can have an awesome squadron of wee snowfolk in your yard.
We did this last year when Claire was 2 and not into the whole (long) process of proper snowman building. I set her up with smaller versions on a bench instead! We brought out a box of her potato head pieces and she had a great time pushing the parts into the snow and creating miniature snow people.
If you’re trapped inside during poor weather today (and according to the latest weather report about 1000 miles of the US is slated for nearly a foot of snow) why not bring in a few clumps of snow and try this indoors on a cookie sheet?

Hi! I'm visiting via Creative Connections for Kids. I love the idea of bringing some snow inside so the kids can play without getting too cold. Cathy 🙂
How fun is this!!! Love it 😀
Love the idea, at least you do not need to look for carrots or coal anymore. Seriously who has coal in their house.
your blog is lovely! so glad I had the chance to stop by. 🙂 this is SUCH a cute idea. bookmarking it for when we're back home in the cold (Canada)
Glad you all like our little snowman! Does anyone else think this looks a bit like the snowmen that Calvin (of the comic strip Calvin and Hobbes) would create? Heehee!
That is a wonderful idea. I think my little guy old would LOVE this!
OK, now I know what we're going to do with our potato head guy. Lovely idea!
I'm imagining an entire army of these little snow people lined up across the driveway, waiting to surprise the next person who comes home 🙂
AWESOME idea! I wish I thought of it while trapped inside with 3 little ones. Thanks!
