Once upon a time...In a far off wintry land, Jack Frost grew lonely, and took the task to hand. He used his magic powers, and smiled when he was through, for what he'd made were Snowbabies, a joy for me and you.

Since their first appearance in 1987, when five tiny bisque figures were introduced, Snowbabies Figurines have enchanted collectors around the country and have brightened the imaginations of all of us who celebrate the gentle play of youthful innocence. This charming collection has grown to include waterglobes, ornaments, display pieces, Snowbabies The Guest Collection™, Snowbabies Starlight™ Games Collection, Snowbabies Babies on the Farm™, and more recently Snowbabies the Gift of Christmas™ and the new Snowbabies Let's Pretend in which Snowbabies dress for imaginary play to celebrate different occasions, seasons, prefessions and childhood themes.

These finely detailed collectible gifts, each with a hand-painted face and hand-applied frosty bisque crystals, are created by artist Krisi Jensen Pierro. Kristi is a native of Minnesota and she understands the magic and wonder of the seasons' first snowfall. She's captured the magic, bringing the Snowbabies collection for all to share in the joy of the season. Watching children, mostly her own, inspires Kristi's ideas for Snowbabies Figurines.

From the Frosty Frolic Land™ of Snowbabies comes the wish that a sparkle of joy will touch your day and that you sense the magic and laughter all around you...in every snowfall.
