Geometric Snowman

  • Create a snowman on paper that uses as many polygons as possible. Remember, a polygon is a shape with straight sides. You can draw it or cut and paste the pieces together. Be creative! You should create a base, mid-section and head for your snowman. Try to include polygons for the eyes, nose, mouth, hat and scarf.
