Where does the Snowman go? What can you tell a child? You can`t say that it melts that is cruel!?

Question

I do mean when they are only about 3 or 4. I know they need to know the truth for future reference but i think not at that age. Each to his own opinion of course.

Answer 1

he will be back again next year, and they forget about that snowman by the next winter, good thing because it would be harder to answer "how come he never came back?"

Answer 2

I agree with the few people who said that you should tell them the truth. When, as a child, I found out that Santa didn't exist, I really felt like a fool because I believed in it all those years. I don't think it would cause any trauma at all, you can introduce them to a little bit of science, and that's more fun than just believing in a snowman who goes to the North Pole!

Answer 3

I had to tell my children the truth that when the sun comes out the snowman has to go away and to get there he needs to melt. Its worked for me

Answer 4

Let them watch frosty the snowman. He melts and says that we will be back some other day! And he does in frosty returns.

Answer 5

...I always told my son, when he was little, that the Snowman melts from the warm love felt by the children who made him and he goes to share this love with all the other snowmen

Answer 6

Tell them they all fly away together like a flock of birds... the same way the animation snowman does.... and that it is a secret where they go....
