Make Your Own "Snowballs" for Indoor or Outdoor Snowball Fights

January 8, 2022

Several suggestions-


1, Big Lots has carried buckets of faux snowballs-One easiest way to start....   Or  Amazon Amazon.com: Climafusion 50 Pack Indoor Snowballs Fight Set, Parent-Child Interaction Snowball Fights, 3 Inch Christmas Winter Holiday Realistic Fake Snow Toys for Indoor and Outdoor Snow Fight or Toss Game : Home & Kitchen  TIP:  

Watch your snowball diameter as these are not Apples-to Apples.  Some at 11/2" others at 3". Obviously 3" would be more fun!

3.  Make white pom poms.  Making pom poms alone if the kids are old enough to manage scissors and yarn is a fun craft in itself!  (and you may like it too even if you're not crafty) You only need white or off-white yarn.   Some sell plastic holders that you wrap the yarn around, tie in the middle and then have fun trimming them round like a haircut.  But as kids, we just cut a shape from an old box and used that.  Take a look at this lady---GREAT video and she uses cardboard.

After watching this video, you may want to decorate everything on the house making other colors after your snowballs!

4. I saw where one Mom bought cheap white footie socks at the thrift store, 

filled the foot part and stitched closed into a small white ball:     Voilà--- Snowballs!!


Are families creative or what??   Have fun and still stay warm!!!
