MAKING A SNOWMAN
About making a snowman -
- about smiles are important
- about everyone's special in their own way
- about taking time to do happy things.

Form a snowball of heavy, somewhat moist snow. Place the ball on the ground and start to roll it along so it gathers more snow, becoming larger and larger - it's sort of like when you give someone a smile and they pass the smile along to someone else and pretty soon a whole group of people are smiling. Smiles are very special.

After the ball of snow is the size you want, place a second ball on top of the first one and then a third for the head. Accessories can be added, if desired. Snowmen come in all shapes and sizes,
just like the people we know. It doesn't matter a bit what they look like because each one is very special in its own way - just like the people we meet every day.

Snowmen don't stay around very long - they come and go. Sometimes we remember having made a snowmen a long time ago, like if it was made with special playmates or if Mom came out and took a picture of all of us. Doing fun things can create special
memories. Take time for happy things each day.
