Two circles, a hat and a scarf, and the Christmas candy cane in one mitten gives the second hand something to do. The stripes on the scarf and the stripes on the cane run in different directions, which is worth pointing out to a child before they start. The buttons are three dots. This snowman drawing works from five. The snowflake is colder still.
