Santa has made a cheerful snow friend during a snowy afternoon. The last step is placing the hat carefully on top. Bring their winter playtime to life with your favorite colors!
Santa has paused his busy holiday work for some frosty outdoor fun. His round snowman is almost ready, and Santa is lifting a hat toward its snowy head. Look closely at the snowman’s happy face and Santa’s fluffy beard. Will the two friends stand in sparkling white snow, or will you make a rainbow winter day? This cheerful scene is full of cozy Christmas smiles.
Make Santa’s coat a bright red, then use white for the trim, beard, and pom-pom. The snowman can stay snowy white with pale blue shadows around its round body. Try black or brown for the hat, orange for a carrot nose, and black for little coal eyes. Color the falling snow light blue, lavender, or even pale gray. A blue sky will help Santa’s red suit pop.
Snowmen are built by rolling snow into big balls and stacking them from largest to smallest. Fresh snow can stick together better when it is a little wet, which makes rolling easier. People often use carrots, stones, buttons, scarves, and hats to give snowmen silly faces and clothes. A snowman will melt when the weather gets warm, so it is a special winter visitor.
