My daughter and her brother spent a lovely afternoon creating different snowmen. They needed a little help with the fiddly accessories, but that's part of the fun.

We made several snowmen together and left them to dry before arranging them on a little shelf. She keeps showing visitors which one she made and explaining why each has a different hat. They're all a bit wonky, which makes them even more charming.

We made a couple of snowmen for the grandparents and wrapped them carefully once they'd dried. Lovely little handmade presents.

My son wanted to carry on making more snowmen after we'd used all nine portions. That's probably a good sign 😂

We like doing something festive with the children each weekend in December. This was an easy activity to add to our plans.

My daughter made snowmen for Mum, Dad, her brother, Nan, Grandad and the rest of the family. She even assigned everyone a personality.

The carrot noses, scarves and tiny buttons are what turned simple balls of clay into funny little characters.

Nobody was allowed to choose a scarf without her approval. Apparently she's the snowman stylist now.

The finished snowmen look really sweet displayed next to the cards on our sideboard.

A fun little project when it's too wet and cold to spend much time outside.

Didn't expect making tiny snowmen to be quite so entertaining, but the children's designs had us all laughing.

One looks grumpy, one looks surprised and another looks like he's had a very long day. Absolutely hilarious.

Such a cosy little afternoon. We put some festive songs on and made snowmen while drinking hot chocolate.

Ours weren't all perfectly balanced, especially before the clay had dried. The children thought the wonky ones were funniest.

One less thing for Mum to worry about during the Christmas rush.

The accessories were a bit fiddly for her, so I stayed close and helped. Her older brother managed most of it independently.

Had two of my daughter's friends round and this gave them something fun to do together. They were comparing hats and scarves the whole time.

Wrote everyone's names on little pieces of card so we'd remember who made which snowman.

Nan and Grandad each made one with our daughter. She's decided those two must always stand together on the shelf.

Really sweet idea for Christmas crafting.

Thought it might be a very short activity, but the children really got into designing different faces and outfits.

I don't usually do much crafting, but my daughter insisted I join in. We made some very strange-looking snowmen and had a brilliant laugh.

The children kept swapping noses between their snowmen and managed to lose track of who had what.

We squashed the head while adding the hat and had to start again. Second attempt looked much more like a snowman.

Some of the smaller decorations were tricky for our youngest to position. Once we helped her a little, she was happy decorating away.

My son made his snowman almost entirely by himself and insisted on showing absolutely everyone who came to the house.

I know they're just handmade snowmen, but I really like having something the children created themselves to put out at Christmas.

Loved that we didn't need to get the oven involved or find lots of extra crafting supplies.

My husband supervised the children making snowmen at the kitchen table while I got on with preparing our Christmas lunch.

We had a little children's Christmas get-together and wanted an activity everyone could have a go at. The snowmen were a fun choice.

She decided hers needed a fancy scarf and the prettiest hat in the whole set.

My daughter was more interested in arranging the accessories than making the actual snowmen.

We left one portion exposed while getting distracted and it became less pleasant to work with. Better to open each pack when you're ready.
