How to make the snowman:


Give every child 3 large marshmallows, 2 mini marshmallows, 2 toothpicks, 1, popsicle stick, 1 macaroon and ½ a piece of the string licorice.

Give the children a large dollop of icing on a small paper plate or a piece of paper towel.
Stack the large marshmallows on top of one another by putting some icing in between them so they stick together.

Have the children put a toothpick on either side of the middle marshmallow and put the two little marshmallows on the end of each toothpick for the hands.

Next have the children wrap the licorice around the bottom of the top marshmallow for the scarf.

Lastly, put some icing on top of the top marshmallow and put the macaroon on top for the hat.

Now you have a marshmallow man that the children can eat for snack or if you can’t wait, make them and eat them right away.
