How to add Nose and Eyes to a Snowman

Building a snowman is typical family fun when the winter months bring fresh, white snow. While building a snowman requires very little instruction, there is no reason why you cannot let your imagination fun wild the next time you build a frost friend. A few tips can give you some fun ideas for adding a nose and eyes to a snowman.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Carrot
• Charcoal
• Rocks
• Salt water
• Pine cones
• Peanut butter
• Corn cob
• Food coloring
• Paint brushes
• Toys

1. Go with a classic snowman look, using a carrot for a nose and charcoal or rocks for eyes. For your carrot nose, dig into the snowman head a bit to create a small divot before adding the nose. Place the nose into the divot and then pack snow around the base to hold it in place. If you have trouble getting your eyes to hold in place, try dipping them in salt water which will allow them to freeze quickly in place.

2. Turn your snowman into a bird feeder, a great way to help feed wildlife in the winter months when food is scarce. Cover two pine cones with peanut butter and then sprinkle them with bird seed. Press them into your snowman's head for eyes. As for the nose, a simple piece of corn will keep the birds happy.

3. Paint on your nose and eyes instead of using objects in the traditional manner. Mix food coloring and water and use paint brushes to give your frosty friend any kind of face you like. You can even add food coloring to snow and sculpt your nose and eyes, adding after you have completed your imaginative creations.

4. Get silly and use some of your toys. You can use pieces from your Mr. Potato head, old sunglasses for eyes or a squeaky clown nose to give your snowman a unique look. Remember that only your creativity is the limit. You will be surprised what fun options you can come up with by just looking around you.
