There currently isn’t snow where I live, but it seems there is in other parts of the country.

That can’t be fun as an adult. Driving in it sucks. It makes a mess when people drag it inside on their shoes. Shoveling it causes muscle strains and tendinitis.

But kids love it. Know why? Because they play in it, like an artistic medium. It’s like running around in a giant container of Play-Doh. They make stuff out of it and throw it at their friends. How could that not be awesome?

Maybe that’s the key for us grown-ups. Shovel less, sculpt more. So I thought I’d offer a handful of creative snowmen ideas for inspiration.
