Cute! I love that! Marshmallows are the next best thing to making snowmen outside! (Actually, I would prefer them to the snow…I am not a cold weather girl!)

You are so creative! i hope that Asher and Zephan get to play in some real snow soon!
Dad, no marshmallows were consumed in the interim (I only had 4 left). Also, the boys were busy in a play session with dinos and I'm sneaky & fast. And yes, there is some significance to their head/tail choice. Zephan loved his snowman so much that he felt bad eating him at all (which is saying a lot because marshmallows are his all-time fav). Asher had no regrets and went right for the chocolate and said, "I'm going to bite his head off!"
Those are awesome snowmen! Two questions:
How many marshmallows were consumed waiting for the finished product?
And any significance to the fact that Zephan appears to prefer to start at the marshmallow end while Asher goes for the chocolate end first??
