You should notice the snow building up. (The bigger the wish, the more the snow) When the snow is ready, make three balls of snow, each one bigger than the one before it. Put the snowballs together one on top on another; the smallest one on top (the head),and the biggest on the bottom (the body). Put the carrot in the center of the snowman's head. Put two of the lumps of coal above the carrot making two eyes. Then, add the other three below the carrot making a mouth. Add the sticks on each side of the middle snowball.
