Permanent Snowman

1 bar Ivory soap
3/4 cup borax (found in the laundry detergent section at the store)
Your choice of snowman, snowwoman, or snowkid apparel (see ideas in Step 5)

Use a vegetable shredder to shred the soap bar into a bowl. Stir in 3/4 cup borax

In the soap and borax mixture, start adding tap water, a little at a time, as you stir the mixture.
A rubber spatula or fork works well for mixing.

Continue to mix and slowly add water until the mixture is about the consistency Play-Doh or cookie dough.

Lay a strip of wax paper on the work surface. Let your child hand-scoop, or you spoon out a dollop of the soap mixture that will fit the child’s hand for them to form the mixture into a ball or any shape that they want to make. To build the typical snowman, make three balls, and stack them while they are still wet. For stability, you can use a toothpick poked half way into the top of the bottom ball to push the second ball onto, and then poke another toothpick into the top of the second ball to force the top/head ball onto.

Use what ever items you can find for the snowman's accents. Be Creative and have fun!!!
