Super Simple Snowman ornament

Building a Simple Snowman ornament just got easier with this clever creation that is perfect to make with your kids.  This one was made by my son.  I thought it was adorable with even without any arms.  The building takes a few minutes while the drying time takes the longest.  You could make several Simple Snowman ornaments in a production line and it would make waiting for the drying time easier. Or you could do what we did and make it a two-part project.  We assembled and painted one night and then touched up the next morning and finished them off after dinner.  They were ready to be hung on the tree and the kids were delighted.
