Build a Snowman

Tonight was an activity that involved some creativity and some yummy samples afterwards ;-) We got to build a snowman! Since we don't live where we can easily get to snow, we decided to build our own snowmen out of marshmallows.

Unfortunately I didn't think this project through all the way. At the beginning of the month I had purchased mini marshmallows for our hot chocolate and figured those marshmallows would suffice for our snowman activity. In hindsight I should have also gotten some larger marshmallows, but it did force us to be more creative.

At first I tried to make one that could stand on it's own (it sort of looks like he has two friends behind him ;-)

Elijah had his laying flat on the table which worked much better than my idea.

Here's my attempt at another snowman. Elijah took one look at it and asked me why I built a rocket when we were supposed to be building snowmen. LOL!

This one is Jerod's snowman (he looks very lively to me, like he wants to start dancing)

And for all you Dr. Who fans, this is Jerod's rendition of a Dalek.

Here's my sweet girl who couldn't join in this activity but who enjoyed playing on the chair next to me and under the table.
