The hay, used for the snowman's hair, just looks like a delicious and mouth-height snack for the horses in a nearby pasture. Winter doesn't make it easy to graze, after all.

Cobble Hill's tray puzzles are a terrific way to introduce puzzling! The tray serves both as a convenient place to store the puzzle and also as a guideline for assembly; the pieces fit securely within the frame and the finished image can be seen printed underneath where the pieces go for visual assistance. For a bit more of a challenge, the puzzle can also be assembled without the tray, like a standard interlocking jigsaw.
