Frosty the Snowman
In the chapter, "It's more than just rain or snow", foster states that snow can be used to create any mood in a story such as happiness and lonileness or death and life. In the story Frosty the Snowman snow is used to be inviting and playful (pg. 80) as the group of children build the snowman that magically come to life. Then as it gets hotter the snpow is used to show life melting away as the snowman begins to turn into water.

I get that the snow symbolizes the happiness/playfulness of Frosty and the children...what about the fact that their imaginations and creativity lead to snow coming to life and lots of fun adventures? However, all this eventually comes to an end, like childhood does.
