A Winter Activity Everyone Can Enjoy
Once you've made your snowballs, it's time for the fun to begin!
Whether you have two players or a whole room full of kids, these games turn an ordinary afternoon into a winter wonderland.
1. Indoor Snowball Fight
The classic favorite!
Split into teams or play everyone for themselves. Toss the plush snowballs at each other and earn one point every time you tag another player.
Best of all...no one gets cold!
2. Snowball Target Challenge
Print or draw a target and tape it to a wall or door. Take turns throwing snowballs and see who can hit the bullseye the most times.
For younger children, move the throwing line closer. For older kids, take a few giant "penguin steps" backward for an extra challenge.
3. Build It...Then Bust It!
Stack the plush snowballs into the tallest pyramid you can. Now stand back and use another snowball to knock the tower over.
Award points for:
Building the tallest tower
Knocking it down in the fewest throws
The most dramatic snowball avalanche!
4. Cup Knockdown
Arrange 6 to 10 plastic cups into a pyramid. Roll or gently toss the snowballs to knock them over.
Want to make it even more exciting? Write silly challenges or prizes inside the cups before stacking them.
5. Snowball Bowling
Turn your hallway into a bowling alley! Line up ten plastic cups like bowling pins and roll your plush snowballs toward them.
Keep score just like real bowling and crown the Winter Bowling Champion.
6. Snowball Spoon Relay
Balance a plush snowball on a wooden spoon and race across the room. Drop your snowball? Head back to the start!
This game is hilarious with both kids and adults.
7. Snowball Basket Toss
Place baskets, buckets, or laundry hampers around the room. Assign each one a different point value depending on how far away it is.
See who can rack up the highest score.
8. Snowball Treasure Hunt
Hide the snowballs around the house before everyone arrives. Whoever finds the most snowballs wins!
For younger children, hide them in obvious places. For older kids, get creative!
9. Snowball Tic-Tac-Toe
Create a large tic-tac-toe board on the floor using painter's tape. Players toss their snowballs into a square to claim it. Three in a row wins!
10. Snowball Minute-to-Win-It
Set a timer for one minute.
How many snowballs can you:
Toss into a basket?
Stack into a tower?
Move from one bucket to another using only a spoon?
Balance on your head while walking?
It's harder than it sounds...and much funnier!

They're also wonderful as:

So thread your machine, grab your favorite white fleece, and start stitching your own indoor winter wonderland. One snowball is fun...but a whole basket is snow much better!
