  • Rosemary
  • Sweets

White marshmallows

Cocktail sticks

Cloves

Black peppercorns

Orange jelly beans

Pretzel sticks

Rosemary

Sweets

How to make your Frosty the Snowman:

  • Thread three marshmallow onto a cocktail stick
  • We put the top marshmallow on it’s side, so the bottom of the marshmallow gave us a wide, flat ‘face’ for our snowman, but you don’t have to!
  • Cut off a little bit of cocktail stick and push one end into an orange jelly bean and the other end into the marshmallow ‘face’, to be Frosty’s nose
  • Add peppercorns or cloves as eyes, a mouth if you want to add one, and the buttons on his coat
  • Push little bits of pretzel into the ‘body’ as arms
  • We used a cocktail stick to attach a sweet as his bobble hat, and a rosemary sprig to look like a scarf, but feel free to get creative with your own snowman’s outfit!
