Why not host a Snowman Making Party....

A favorite winter activity of children is building a snowman. Whether it is a tiny one built with the first snow of the season or a tall one made out of the results of a foot of snow, it is something most children love to do. Plan ahead and you can host an impromptu Snowman Making Party for your children and their friends.

Some forethought will need to go into this party as predicting when it will snow can be difficult. Even the meteorologists get it wrong. Have everything that need on hand and that way you can host this party when the conditions are right for it.

Start putting together a box of snowman parts now. Find a cardboard box and fill it with mittens, old hats, charcoal briquettes (for coal), long sticks, and some buttons. Carrots will best keep in your refrigerator, so have some of those on hand too.

Put together some party favors or prizes too. You will want to have something to award for the most creative snowman, the tallest snowman, the best dressed snowman, etc. Figure out a way to recognize everyone's effort. The most important thing is that your children and their guests have fun while building their snowmen.

Once everyone is outside making snowmen, it is your turn to get busy in the kitchen. Make a fresh batch of cookies and some hot chocolate for everyone to warm up with when they are finished. Make sure that your pantry is stocked with all the ingredients that you will need.

The hardest part will be waiting for the perfect snowfall. When it does happen it is time to get busy. Invite your guests over by calling them or just knocking on their door. They will love the surprise Snowman Making Party. It is great way to beat cabin fever.
