A tiny plan for your day
Estimated time: 3 min to wrap up · 15 min to build · 2 min to warm up. It's fine to stop early.
Before you start
What you’ll need
- Snow
- Twigs, pine cones, leaves and small stones
- Warm, waterproof gloves
Let's begin
Five simple steps
That's the whole activity. Tick each step off as you go, and stop whenever you like.
Roll two small snowballs, one big and one smaller.
Stack them on a wall or bench.
Add twig arms, stone eyes and a leafy hat.
Give your snow buddy a name.
Check on them tomorrow. Are they still there?
All done!
That's every step. However it went, you made a little moment together.
