Winter brings cold air and fresh white snow. Many children love to go outside and build a snowman.
To build a snowman, the snow must be wet and sticky. Dry snow blows away easily in the wind.
Sticky snow rolls into giant, round balls. People stack three snowballs on top of each other.
The largest ball goes on the bottom. The smallest ball goes on top to make the head.
Decorating the snowman is a fun winter tradition. People give their snowman a happy, smiling face.
They use small stones or buttons for the eyes and mouth. A bright orange carrot makes a classic pointed nose.
Two wooden sticks can become long arms. Many people like to dress their snowman in warm winter clothes.
A knit beanie hat sits right on top of its head. A soft, striped scarf wraps around its chilly neck.
These cozy clothes do not keep the snowman warm. Instead, they make the snowman look cheerful and bright.
Soft snowflakes fall quietly from the gray winter sky. The smiling snowman stands tall in the cold yard and brings joy to everyone.
