In honor of Northern Virginia's Last Snowfall of 2014 (hopefully), I wanted to share these cute little Marshmallow Snowmen.
Nye-Nye made them way back in December, but I never shared them. My Mama was visiting and had great fun making her own.
All you need is a bag of large marshmallows, tons of tooth-picks, pipe-cleaners, markers and some white glue. Cloves are optional.
We stuck a tooth-pick (or 2) connecting the head to the belly. Then another tooth-pick (or 2) from the bottom up to the belly.
More tooth-picks became the arms.
Cloves made nice eyes, noses and nipples (totally my then 2 1/2 year old's idea).
Nye-Nye had a terrific time wrapping the pipe-cleaners into scarves and adding details to each face.
I twisted pipe-cleaners into a loop and stuck the on top of each head, so we could hang them from our Christmas Tree.
They kept coming apart when we hung them, so I just added some glue between each marshmallow. Problem solved.
Can't wait to make another set next year!
