5) Competition time!
Get out there early… Who can create the tallest snow sculpture? Share photos with us and include height measurements.
- Choose Your Location: Find a flat and open space where you can build your sculpture.
The more compact the snow is, the easier it will be to work with.
- Plan Your Design: Decide what shape your snow sculpture will take. The taller the sculpture, the more wide you’ll need to make the base to prevent it from toppling over.
- Measure the Height: To measure the height of your sculpture, stand a ruler or
measuring tape next to the sculpture and measure from the ground to the top. You might need a second person to help you measure accurately.
Have a wonderful day and stay safe in the snow!
