A snowman is an anthropomorphic snow sculpture of a man often built in regions with sufficient snowfall and is a common winter tradition. In many places, typical snowmen consist of three large snowballs of different sizes with some additional accoutrements for facial and other features. Due to the sculptability of snow, there is also a wide variety of other styles. Common accessories include branches for arms and a smiley face made of stones, with a carrot used for a nose. Clothing, such as a hat or scarf, may be included. The low cost and common availability of materials mean snowmen are usually abandoned once completed.
Snow becomes most suitable for packing when it approaches its melting point and becomes moist and compact. Making a snowman of powdered snow is difficult since it will not stick to itself, and if the temperature of packing snow drops, it will form an unusable denser form of powdered snow called the crust. Thus, a good time to build a snowman may be the next warm afternoon directly following a snowfall with a sufficient amount of snow. Using more compact snow allows for the construction of a large snowball by simply rolling it until it grows to the desired size. If the snowball reaches the bottom of the grass it may pick up traces of grass, gravel, or dirt.

In North America, snowmen are generally built with three spheres representing the head, torso, and lower body.[1] In the United Kingdom, two spheres are used, one sphere representing the body and one representing the head. The usual practice is to then decorate and optionally dress the snowman. Sticks can be used for arms, and a face is traditionally made with stones or coal for eyes and a carrot for a nose. Some like to dress their snowmen in clothing such as a scarf or hat, while others prefer not to risk leaving supplies outdoors where they could easily be stolen or become stuck under melting ice.
There are variations to these standard forms; for instance, the popular song "Frosty the Snowman" describes a snowman being decorated with a corncob pipe, button nose, coal eyes and an old silk hat (usually depicted as a top hat). These other types range from snow columns to elaborate snow sculptures similar to ice sculptures.
Documentation of the first snowman is unclear. However, Bob Eckstein, author of The History of the Snowman, documented snowmen from the Middle Ages by researching artistic depictions in European museums, art galleries, and libraries. The earliest documentation he found was an antisemitic marginal illustration from a 1380 book of hours, found in the Koninklijke Bibliotheek in The Hague.[3][4] The earliest known photograph of a snowman was taken circa 1853 by Welsh photographer Mary Dillwyn, the original of which is in the collections of the National Library of Wales.
While the origin of snowmen remains unclear, they have been used throughout history to make statements. In 1511, the city of Brussels held a snowman festival in hopes of appeasing its hungry and poor citizens. However, instead of building snowmen, the people built pornographic sculptures throughout the city.[5]
Snowmen are a popular theme for Christmas and winter decorations and also in children's media. A famous snowman character is Frosty, the titular snowman in the popular holiday song "Frosty the Snowman" (later adapted into film and television specials), who was magically brought to life by the old silk hat used on his head. In addition to numerous related music and other media for Frosty, snow-men also feature as:
One common time for snowman-themed decorations is during the winter holiday and Christmas season, where it is celebrated.[10] One craft book suggested a plan making a small snowman doll out of white glove, ribbon, and other craft supplies.[10]
The record for the world's largest snowman or snowwoman was set in 2008 in Bethel, Maine. The snowwoman stood 122 feet 1 inch (37.21 m) in height, and was named Olympia in honor of Olympia Snowe, a U.S. Senator representing the state of Maine.[13][14]
The previous record was a snowman built in Bethel, Maine, in February 1999. The snowman was named "Angus, King of the Mountain" in honor of the then-current governor of Maine, Angus King. It was 113 feet 7 inches (34.62 m) tall and weighed over 9,000,000 pounds (4,080,000 kg).[15]
In December 2016 the smallest snowman of sorts was created in a nano-fabrication facility at University of Western Ontario.[16] It consisted of three roughly 0.9 micron spheres of silica, platinum arms and nose, and a face made by an ion beam.[16]
A classic snowman, as Frosty the Snowman. Depicted as a snowman, facing forward, made from two or three large snowballs and stick arms, dressed with a top hat, a carrot nose, coal eyes, and two or three buttons on its torso. Sometimes shown with a smile and a red scarf.
First, rough in the snowman. Using a white oil pastel, start to sketch in the rough shape of your snowman by creating a arc, or 1/4 of a circle, across the bottom corner of the page. Next, draw 1/2 of a circle on top of the arc, and then 3/4 of a circle stacked on top of the half, moving diagonally across the page to the opposite top corner (as shown below).
Just as before, begin by roughing in the snowman shape. Using a white oil pastel, start to sketch in the rough shape of your snowman by creating a small circle toward the top third of the page. Next, draw a slightly larger circle, wrapping along the underside of the first circle. Finally draw the larges circe wrapping around the underside and sides of the middle circle (as shown below).

Possible duplication here but I do not see that my comment took. I found you on the announcement of the upcoming Halloween blog hop. I am super excited about it because I love Halloween. I must admit your Christmas cookies are adorable. My favorite is the snowman. I love Christmas too of course. I hope you will stop by my blog and see my Halloween related post. It relates to my hair jewelry.
Sew on buttons for eyes and snowman front. The black button eyes go on round 11. The red buttons are evenly spaced starting on rows 4 and ending on 7. Put a bottle of wine in the cozy, tie up the top and wrap his cute little scarf around his neck and you are good to go!
Mickey will melt your heart as this adorable snowman cookie jar! The ceramic figural design features Mickey's distinctive ears with a shiny red Santa hat and carrot nose. He'll enjoy chilling out with your friends and family over the holidays and is sure to make a sweet addition to your festive decor!
I have made these melted snowman cookies a bunch over the years, and I personally think that the candy melts are the easiest thing to work with. They melt and coat the cookies smoothly and hold up well to storage.
I have been obsessed with Modern Parent Messy Kids' Indoor Snowman activity since I first laid eyes on it. Since I like to put my own spin on things, I thought I'd experiment a bit and see if I couldn't come up with a dough that would also work for building snowmen. I so enjoyed Learn Play Imagine's Erupting Candy Corn Foam Dough at Halloween that I was inspired to make a dough that would also erupt. About 12 iterations later, I had developed an erupting super foaming dough that I was really excited about. We've played with it a LOT since then. Here's the first of our activities using it!
Here's our cute little snowman.
Uh oh... S has started the melting/foaming reaction. He's lost his nose!
And now his head. It's almost all over for him.
In the place of the snowman, there's now a giant pile of icy cold frothy foam to play in!
This was maybe the fifth snowman she demolished. She had so much fun. It was pretty hilarious to watch her squeal with delight as the foam erupted and bits and pieces of the snowman became no more.
Once he's completely demolished, you have to search like a raccoon with your hands through that icy foam to rescue all his bits and pieces. So you can make yet another snowman, of course.

To make your own Magic Foaming Snowman, you'll need the following:Baking SodaDish Soap (aka Washing Up Liquid)SaltVinegarWaterproof accessories
First let's talk about the accessories. Anything waterproof will work fabulously. We used black brads for his eyes, and then I made a carrot nose out of orange foam (I glued it using hot glue to make a 3D carrot). I also cut pieces to make a little top hat out of black foam and hot glued them together. We grabbed two skinny little twigs from outside and we were ready to make our Foaming Dough!In a bowl or other container, measure out two cups of baking soda and add 2 Tablespoons of salt. Mix throughly (little hands are very good at this). Add 1 tsp soap and mix it into the dough well. The dough should look crumbly. Next add 8 Tablespoons of water. If your dough will form a ball, you're all set. If it's still too dry and crumbly add water 1 Tablespoon at a time until you have a dough that molds into a ball. It will not feel like playdough - it's more smooshy and crumbly than that. But it should form into and hold a ball.
Make and decorate your snowman and once you're ready to transform him into a mound of icy cold foam, add your vinegar! It works best (i.e. creates the most foam) if you add a lot of vinegar at once. A squeezy bottle works best, but if you don't have one of those, pouring a cup filled with vinegar on him will also create a foamy explosion!
If you'd like to add color to your snowman, you definitely can. Add food coloring or liquid watercolors to the baking soda in the very first step and mix well before following the recipe as usual. We felt like going for a traditional snowman, but colored foaming dough is also a blast!
UPDATE: With the wild success of Disney's movie Frozen, my awesome friend Stephanie pointed out that I should show how easily our Magic Foaming Snowman can become a Magic Foaming Olaf! I used foam sheets as above to make Olaf features and here he is:
