It’s time to represent the snowman’s mouth, applying the Ellipse Tool (U) and the color #6A6B6D. Firstly represent the basic element of the mouth and then select the Convert Point Tool to low down the top part of the ellipse. Press then Alt button when using the Rectangle Tool (U) to cut out the unnecessary parts. The instrument may be turned over with Free Transform option.

On the made hand we’ll add the mitten with the Pen Tool (P) which shape may be corrected with the Convert Point Tool.
