I love to make snowman in winter, it is so much fun. But in other seasons we cannot make snowman, so today I am going to show you how to make snowman the easy way all year round. It is also so much fun, lets grab an old pair of socks, scissors, buttons, a small piece of cloth and glue.


Take an old sock and cut the ankle part off.


Then take other end of sock pour rice or other similar substance in it.


Then tie a band at the top and in the middle.


Add two black dots as eyes and red or any other color dot as nose in the top portion. To the bottom portion add two buttons.  Tie any color cloth around the neck area as a scarf.


 I used a smaller sock to place over the head as a cap.
