Do not forget to add an evil, wry, and cunning smile of the Grinch as he is successful in stealing your outdoor Christmas decorations. Also, draw the Grinch in a bit sneaky and ready-to-run position.

All you need is some paint colors (black and orange) and primer to quickly paint these snowmen’s eyes, nose, and a happy smile.

Use new hats and scarves for these snowmen. You can also place two circulars (of different diameters) of wooden pieces on the snowmen instead of a hat.
