A snowman, a popular winter fun for children, is an anthropomorphic figure built with snow. In Western culture, the image of a snowman is often linked to Christmas. A snowman can be built by rolling a large snowball to a 'body'. A second (or even a third) smaller ball is placed over the previous one to form the one that will be the head of the puppet. Face features such as eyes, lips and nose are usually made using recovery material. Additional decorations can of course be of any kind, such as arms, broom, hat, buttons or anything else that makes the puppet funny, grotesque and funny. The first portrait of a snowman is found in a Book of Hours of 1380, kept in a Hague library #snowman
