Building a Snowman: Think Inside the Box

Everyone knows how to build a snowman by rolling balls of snow together. Try thinking inside the box this winter. Snowmancity.org gives instructions for using cardboard boxes and tubes to build your next snowman. After the snow is stacked up, use snow shovels to carve out your snow sculpture. Once your sculpture is complete, it will need accessories. You should consider buying Snowman in a Box: Everything You Need to Build Classic and Cool Snow Creations Just Add Snow! by Nancy Armstrong. (Running Press Book Publishers, $9.95). People living in the South can even use the kit to make a sand snowman.
