Snow Sculptures A favorite winter activity for many people is building a snow sculpture. First, you need snow. It is best to build after a heavy snowfall, but a small sculpture can be built after even a little snow. Second, you need imagination. Many people build a traditional snow person with two snowballs for the body and one for the head. But other people build figures that could have stepped from a fantasy story, animals that look ready to leap, and castles or forts of snow. After the sculpture is built, many people add props, such as clothing and stones for eyes. Some people add color by mixing food coloring with water and putting it in spray bottles. Snow sculptures do not last long. Another snowfall will cover them, or they will melt as the temperature rises.
