“It was the beginning of the greatest Christmas ever. Little food. No presents. But there was a snowman in their basement.” — Markus Zusak
As someone who grew up in Canada, making a snowman was part of Christmas holidays and some of my happiest memories are of building a snowman with friends and family.
But what do you do if you’re not in Canada…and are in Australia, where the sun shines brightly during Christmas holidays?
You still build a snowman! That’s right. There’s no reason why you shouldn’t build snowmen this Christmas season. Read on to see how we make our snowmen and enjoy this happy holidays tradition, minus the cold and the snow.
Creating Childhood Memories and Traditions Activity
Make fun and laughter-filled memories for the kids this Christmas by bundling up everyone into the car and hitting the beach! That’s right. That is where you’ll build your snow {sand} man!
Take some carrots and hats with you for the snowman. While there, collect shells or rocks to decorate his “coat” with and take plenty of pictures to capture this fun filled tradition. Make it a day out with a picnic lunch and enjoy this classic tradition while making beautiful memories for the kids.
