* Give each child a white adult-sized sock and a coloured child- sized sock.
* Stuff the foot portion of the adult's sock with cushion stuffing.
* Cut the rest of the sock off from the heel up.
* Tie a knot at the open end of the sock so that the stuffing is secured.
* Tie a ribbon tightly around the stuffed sock about a third of the way down. As well as being a scarf, this will help to keep the snowman's head separate from its body.
* Pull the young child's sock over the tied end of the adult's sock to make the snowman's hat.
* Glue the pom-poms or buttons down the front of the snowman.
* Use permanent felt-tip markers to make the snowman's nose, eyes and mouth.
