Toysmith Melting Snowman – Reusable Putty Kit with Accessories – Build, Melt, and Rebuild Again and Again
The Toysmith Melting Snowman is a reusable putty kit that lets you build a snowman with accessories and watch it slowly melt into a puddle at room temperature. The built snowman measures 4 x 3.25 x 1.75 inches and includes putty, hat, scarf, buttons, eyes, nose, and arms. Designed for ages 5 and up, it makes an entertaining desk toy or holiday gift without leaving any moisture or mess.
How does the Melting Snowman work?
You shape the soft white putty into a snowman, add the included accessories, and leave it at room temperature. Over the course of several hours—typically overnight—the snowman gradually collapses into a flat blob. The putty never dries out, so you can scoop it up and rebuild as many times as you like. There is no liquid or residue left behind, only the putty itself.

Common questions about the Melting Snowman
How long does it take to melt?
At typical room temperature the snowman melts gradually and becomes a flat blob overnight.
Can I reuse the putty after it melts?
Yes, the putty is reusable. Simply reshape it and add the accessories again. It never dries out or hardens.
Is the putty messy?
No. The putty leaves no moisture or stain behind when it melts. It remains a single blob that is easy to pick up and reuse.
What accessories are included?
The kit comes with a hat, scarf, two buttons (eyes), a nose, and two arms. Everything you need to decorate your snowman is in the box.
An indoor snowman for any climate
Because the putty works at room temperature, children can build a snowman regardless of weather. It is a fun desk toy for holiday season or a unique stocking stuffer. The melting effect is slow enough to watch over time but fast enough to keep kids engaged.
