Winter means building snow men and snow forts... only if you (or your kids) are feeling really ambitious or creative this winter and want to raise the bar, look no further than these photos of outrageous, hilarious things people have made out of snow. From rainbow igloos to snowmen murders, these creations prove that the sky's the limit when it comes to what you can create with snow. Consider them an inspiration (or a challenge!) on what you can do on your next snow day with the kids.

Amazing snow creations to build with kids

How much time -- and how many people -- do you think #5 took to build?

Two-story Snow Fort

Did those two kids build this massive snow fort on their own? We're guessing their parents (and maybe a bulldozer) pitched in. Gotta love what looks like a jail on the left, and the second story. All in all we wouldn't want to battle these guys in a snowball fight.

Peeing Snow Dog

While snow dogs are fun to make in their own right, a snow dog peeing on a fence is funnier. We're guessing a kid (or an adult with a kid-like sense of humor) made this for kicks.

Igloo

This rainbow-colored igloo blew our minds. We kowtow to its creators (who made colored "ice blocks" in milk containers).

Snow Ramp

This photo proves you don't have to live near a ski lodge to hit the slopes! All you need for this DIY ski slope is tons of snow, a one-story house with a sloped roof, and a LOT of guts. In fact, this may be one project you'll want to admire from afar but not try at home. Still, hats off to the mastermind behind this. We hope he's still alive to tell this tale.

World's Tallest Snowman?

The size of those people in this photo shows just how huge this snowman is -- and check out those pine trees for arms! Impressive.

Snowman Army

Clearly someone had a LOT of snow and time on their hands (and probably an army of kids at their disposal) to create this army of snowmen.

Snowman Murderer

Between the shovel and the snowmen's expressions, it's pretty clear what happened in this snowman murder. Hey, it's a snowman-eat-snowman world out there.

Two-headed Snowman

What better snowman to greet visitors to a radiation research facility than a mutant snowman with two heads?

Snowman Mailbox

If you've got a mailbox, you've got the perfect funny snowman project that'll make your mailman and pretty much anyone laugh: a snowman mailbox with a door for a mouth.

Dark Snowman Humor

Sometimes all you need to make a snowman stand out is a funny sign, like this sad, melting snowman above. Kinda makes you tear up, doesn't it?

Biker Snowman

This snowman on a bike undoubtedly turned heads, and apparently captured the attention of the cops to boot. It's an impressive use of props.

Olaf

Of couse, if your kids are Frozen fans (and what kid isn't?), building an Olaf is a must this winter. This one looks so lifelife we almost want to give him a warm hug.
