Instant Snowman in a box

The girls made an awesome little snowman last week (which has since melted).  But it was as easy as 1, 2, 3. They piled up three heaping mounds of snow, one atop the other and then quickly ran inside shouting, "Hey mom, where is the snowman kit that Auntie Tania gave us for Christmas?" Quickly grabbing the little wooden box from the closet, they headed back outside to bring their icy white statue to life.  Inside the little box lay all the ingredients necessary to put the decorative touches on any snowman:  three round black buttons, two eyes, a pipe, orange carrot nose, red scarf and black felt hat.  They pushed all the little wooden pieces right into their frosty snowman and VOILA!  He came to life, just like the song says (well.....almost).
