We will use orange peel to make the snowman’s nose.- Roasted chestnut peels roasted chestnuts are typically
eaten in winter in Spain. They are commonly sold in the streets:
We will use chestnut peels to cover the ground.
- Chocolate curls and white and yellow plasticine hot chocolate and “churros” are eaten in Spain, especially when it’s cold:
We will use chocolate curls and white and yellow plasticine to make a hot chocolate cup with “churros”.
- Raisins in Spain, at 12 o’clock on New Year’s Eve, everybody eats 12 grapes. It’s believed that they bring you good luck!
We will stick raisins to represent this event.

The Spanish Snowman will wear a crown to represent this date.We may stick a paper crown or draw it with markers.
