Snow Play: How To Make Forts & Slides & Winter Campfires Plus the Coolest Loch Ness Monster and 23 other Brrrilliant Projects in the Snow

DIY goes outdoors in dozens of projects for creating witty and innovative designs in the snow. Simple ideas such as a snow lantern (made of snowballs) and snow angels rub shoulders with larger-scale creations like a snow bar for an outdoor cocktail party and a winter fireplace for roasting marshmallows and camping in the snow. A section on snow games and play--from a snowball fight with real rules to forging footprints with handmade snowshoes--is ideal for group fun. There's even a "no-snow" section including frozen munchies (edibles for ice cubes) and other freezer crafts. Ralston keeps it stylish and simple throughout, interspersing snow facts and miscellany with clear step-by-step instructions, advice for using the simplest household tools, and full-color photos of each finished project.
