Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup baking soda
- ½ cup cornstarch
- ½ cup water
- Mixing bowl
- Saucepan
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Rolling pin
- Cookie cutters (optional)

Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of baking soda and ½ cup of cornstarch.
- Gradually stir in ½ cup of water until the mixture is smooth.
- Transfer the mixture to a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens and resembles dough (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove the saucepan from heat and let the dough cool slightly.
- Once cool enough to handle, knead the dough on a clean surface until it’s smooth and pliable.
- Use a rolling pin to flatten the dough to about ¼ inch thick.
- Use cookie cutters to cut out three circular shapes for the snowman’s body (large, medium, and small).
- Carefully stack the circles on top of each other to form your snowman.
- Gently press down on each layer to ensure they stick together.
- Use paint, markers, and various accessories to decorate your snowman creatively.
Notes
Customize the snowman with colors and scents. If true snowman dough is too sticky, adjust with cornstarch or water.
