To make your marshmallow snowmen you will need:

  • Big marshmallows, tiny marshmallows and some gum drops for the hats.
  • A red licourice lace or similar (try your local pick ‘n’ mix)
  • Icing sugar and water to make your ‘glue’. Add 3 heaped tablespoons of icing sugar into a bowl, then mix in 2 teaspoons of water and stir. This should give your glue a nice sticky consistency.
  • Squeezy tubes of coloured icing (or you can use icing sugar mixed with food colouring)
  • A grown-up to help you with the tricky bits

Time to make: 25 minutes
Difficulty level: Easy

Step 1
Decorate your snowman’s face with squeezy icing pens or icing sugar mixed with food colouring. A toothpick works well as a pen.

Take one large marshmallow and apply a blob of icing glue to the top.

Step 3
Next take your snowman’s face and place it on top. Set aside for a few minutes to dry.

Step 4
Add the arms in the same way. Hold in place for a few seconds until they are set.

Step 5
Next add a nice red scarf, using your icing glue to secure at the back of your snowman’s neck and on his front.

Step 6
Now add a gumdrop on top for your snowman’s hat, using a dab of your icing glue to secure.
