All Snowed In?

Flexible Flyer 3-Pack
3-pack of 26″ Flexible Flyer Plastic Saucer 26″ Diameter. The kids will have hours of fun in the snow! These saucer come in three great colors.

Flexible Flyer Snowball Maker, colors may vary

This simple tool does what it is intended to do: make snowballs to the right compactness. The snowballs were neither too soft that disintegrate when thrown; nor were the snowballs packed too tightly making dangerous iceballs. From toddlers to grownups, the tool is very easy to use. Plus, its bright red color makes it very easy to find in the snow.

I would recommend getting one for each child/snowball maker; it’s hard to call a “truce” in the middle of a snowball fight to borrow the snowball maker!

WHAM-O SnowBall Blaster
Rest your arm when engaging in landmark snowball battles with the Wham-O Snowball Blaster. The device–which is designed to both make and launch snowballs–starts with a removable three-ball snowball press on top. Simply insert snow into the top cavities and press down. Within seconds, the Snow Blaster will compress the snow into three tightly packed snowballs. More significantly, the Snow Blaster can shoot snowballs up to 80 feet, making you the deadliest weapon on the hill. No one else stands a chance. The Snowball Blaster, which includes an ergonomic wrist support handle, also comes with a scored game.
