I couldn't decide if I should post this or not. I know it is past Christmas but if I don't post it now I probably never will. I hosted a Snowman themed play date for my kids and a few of their friends from school. We watched Frosty the Snowman, had snowman themed treats and made a snowman craft. We also sent each of the kids home with a snowman soup mix.
For the treats I served hot cocoa, snowballs, stick arms, snowman noses, snowman hats and pieces of coal.
Powdered donut holes
Pretzel sticks
Carrot sticks
Fudge striped cookies with mini Reese's peanut butter cups on top
Mini Oreo's
For the craft I cut out 3", 3.5", and 4" circles with my cricut machine. I set out chocolate chips, pretzel sticks, glitter glue, Elmer's glue, markers and pom poms. I gave them each a 12X12 sheet of card stock. I also cut out the noses and hats for them.
They each got to take home a Snowman Soup Mix. (a hot cocoa packet, a bag of mini marshmallows, a few Hershey kisses and a candy cane) Here is the Snowman Soup poem that went along with it:
Snowman Soup
When the snowmen
get real chilly,
they make
a yummy brew.
Here's their secret
snowman soup mix.
You can make some too!
Pour the Cocoa.
Add hot water.
Stir
with the peppermint stick.
Toss in kisses
and marshmallows.
It's sure to do the trick.

This is perfect timing! I am planning a snow themed week for my son who just experienced it for the first time while on Christmas vacation. He loved making his first snowman. I had hoped to end the week with a little party/play date and these ideas are great! I will be using them. Thank you!
This is darling - great for January.
I love it! I can never find the little bags of mini marshmallows that everyone says they use.

I just used small clear treat bags for the mini marshmallows and taped the bags closed. You can find them at the craft stores near the candy making section.
Thanks for the great idea! I'm putting it on my blog. :)
