A snow baby (sometimes spelled snowbaby) is a small figurine that depicts some aspect of the Christmas holidays or of winter sports such as skiing and ice skating. The
traditional snow baby is made of unglazed porcelain (bisque) and shows a child dressed in a snowsuit; the suit itself is covered in small
pieces of crushed bisque, giving the appearance of fallen snowflakes.
However, many other sorts of figures are typically associated with these
snowy children: Santa's, Elves and gnomes,
carolers, animals such as penguins and polar bears, adult sledders and
skaters, snowmen, and even houses and Disney characters. Collectors in
the United States and Europe will sometimes decorate for the holidays
using these figures to create winter scenes of varying degrees of
complexity.
