Making snow angels is a common childhood game, though older people also make snow angels. It's always best followed up with a steaming cup of hot cocoa!
The first step is to find an undisturbed plane of snow.
Step2
The next step is to lie supine, spread-eagled in the center of the snow.
Step3
The limbs are then swept back and forth, creating a trough through the snow. Like you are doing jumping jacks laying down!
Step4
Have someone help you get up so your snow angel stays intact. When it is finished, the snow angel should have the appearance of an angel, the movement of the arms having formed wings, and that of the legs having formed a gown.
Tips & Warnings
Try filling your snow angels with birdseed, to the delight of their feathered friends who will get a well deserved snack when it's all said and done!
Fill a water bottle with food coloring/water and spritz your angel different colors
Take pictures
Make a wintertime collage with the pictures for memories sake :)
