Snowman
Using three Styrofoam balls of different sizes, connect your snowman‘s body together by first connecting the big ball with the medium ball with a toothpick. Remove the toothpick and squirt white glue in the toothpick holes. Reinsert the toothpick in the hole on the big ball. Add some glue around the toothpick on the top of the big ball and into the toothpick hole on the medium ball. Place the other end of the toothpick into the medium ball. Your big and medium balls should be connected. Repeat with the medium and small ball. Draw on eyes using markers or by gluing on small rocks. Use small sticks for arms. Design a hat and scarf with felt. Attach your message to the snowman.
