Frosty the Snowman
When children learn how to draw Frosty the Snowman, a few extra features are called for. He needs to be able to walk and play with children, as the story goes, so some arms and boots for feet are called for.
The famous story is that a group of children find a hat and place it on Frosty’s head. Frosty laughs and plays with the children until the hot sun threatens to melt him. Frosty says goodbye to the children, reassuring them, “I’ll be back again someday.”
“Frosty the Snowman” began as a popular Christmas song written by Walter Jack Rollins and Steve Nelson, and first recorded by Gene Autry. It was later recorded by Jimmy Durante in that year. It has since been covered by many artists, and included in Rolling Stone’s list of “The Greatest Rock & Rocll Christmas Songs”.
