• A grownup might have to cut out the small felt pieces. Kids can help choose felt colors and create designs for building their snowmen.
  
  
• If you don't have a shower curtain ring, you can bend a chenille stem in the shape of the ring.

Make the decoration any size you like, depending on the felt pieces you have on hand and the size and shape of the shower ring.
