Tips for RAs on this bulletin board idea
  • The pictures can be cut out and hung around the
    bulletin board separately to add character to the
    board. Also try adding paper snowflakes.
  • Try printing out the slides on a light blue
    colored paper to add more life to the board.

A Standard Snowman

  • STEP 1
  • Test to see if you have 'packing snow,' which
    clumps together easily and isn't too wet. The
    snow must pack to make a snowman.

5
  • STEP 2
  • Shape a handful of snow into a ball. Continue
    adding more snow and packing the ball until it's
    too large to hold.

6
  • STEP 3
  • Place the ball on the snow in front of you and
    slowly roll it away from you. As more snow
    accumulates on the outside of your ball, pack the
    snow by pressing on it with your gloved hands.

7
  • STEP 4
  • Roll and pack the ball over and over until it is
    the size you want for the bottom of the snowman's
    body.

8
  • STEP 5
  • Repeat for the midsection and head. The bottom
    should be the biggest ball, and the top should be
    the smallest.

9
  • STEP 6
  • Pack some extra snow between the layers to make
    them stick together. Place sticks down the center
    where the sections meet if your snowman is having
    trouble standing straight.

10
  • STEP 7
  • Give the snowman a face. Use coal, rocks, buttons
    or anything dark and round for the eyes. A
    horizontal stick or twig will make a good mouth,
    and a carrot is fine for the pointy nose. If you
    don't have a carrot, a banana or a candy cane
    will do the job.

11
  • STEP 8
  • Cover the top of his head with an old plant for
    hair, or give him a knit hat to wear. Top hats
    will blow away unless secured.

12
  • STEP 9
  • Add arms, legs and other accessories. Push sticks
    into the sides of the middle section and hang old
    mittens on the ends, then place boots at the
    bottom for legs. Also consider adding items such
    as a shirt, a scarf or sunglasses.

13
  • Tips Warnings
  • Creativity is KEY! Do something new and different
    and your snowman will be more interesting.
  • If you're having a hard time rolling and packing
    the snow into sections, try using buckets. Find
    three that are of descending size and pack them
    with snow, then upend them, dumping the snow from
    one bucket on top of the other.
  • You can spray your snowman with colored water to
    add rosy cheeks.
  • Your snowman's days are numbered, so take plenty
    of pictures.

14
  • Be sure to brush up on your snowman making
    ability.you never know when there might be a
    campus wide contest this winter!
