Step-by-Step Instructions
Start by stacking two or three foam or paper cups to form the body and head of the snowman. Glue them together securely. Use markers or paint to add facial features like eyes, a mouth, and a nose.
Attach black buttons or pom-poms down the front of the body to resemble buttons. Create a hat using black felt or paper, and add a scarf made from colored paper or fabric around the neck area.
If desired, stick small twigs or sticks on each side for arms. For a finishing touch, add a small broom or a tiny hat for extra charm.
