Snowman Family Building In A Snowy Yard Coloring Page

Three snowmen of descending height stand in a yard while two children pat snow onto the smallest one. Scarves, carrot noses, twig arms and coal buttons are all present, and a house with a fence sits behind them. Everything is drawn with the thick clean line the younger age group needs, and there is plenty of open white inside the snowmen themselves.

Snowmen give beginners a lesson in restraint, because the best result comes from barely coloring them at all. Suggest leaving the bodies bare and putting every color into the accessories, a striped scarf, an orange nose, a black hat. If the child wants the snow filled in, a very light blue pressed gently along the bottom of each ball will make them look round without hiding them.

The record for the tallest snow figure belongs to Bethel, Maine, which built one just over 122 feet high in 2008 and gave her a pair of skis for eyelashes. A month of work went into her, and she had not finished melting until July.
