A snowman is a sculpture of a snowman made of snow which became one of the christmas symbols , especially in the northern hemisphere. Animations in general use this a lot, as in Frozen where one of the figures is a snowman Olaf (Disney). Snowmen usually have grass hair, tree limb arms and carrot nose.
There is no clear documentation on the origin of the snowmen. However, Bob Eckstein, author of The Snowman Story , documented snowmen dating back to the Middle Ages through artistic depictions in European museums, art galleries and libraries. The first documented snowman is found in an illustration on the banks of a 1390- hour book , found in the National Library of Holland.
Snowmen can also be a theme for toys, costumes and decorations. A common time for snowman theme decorations is during Christmas. A craft book suggested a plan making a small snowman doll with white glove, ribbon and other craft supplies.
A book about snowmen, which included instructions on working with real snow, also mentions candy and confectionery with a snowman theme. Some options for snowman theme dessert items include ice cream , marshmallows and macarons.
