1.  Fill 3 balloons with water.  Make one balloon small, one medium, and one large. 

2. Freeze your balloons overnight.

When they are frozen, they are ready to use! 

3.  Cover your table with a towel and work in a baking dish (to catch all your water).

4.  Remove the balls of ice from the balloons.  Sprinkle salt between the ice balls to help them adhere. 

5.  Grab some brushes and your liquid watercolors and decorate your snowmen!
