I received samples in exchange for my honest review.
My kids were so excited when I told them we were going to make some fake snow! This is just one of Zimpli Kids neat products for kids.
Making the SnoBalls is very easy, and also a lot of fun. The kids started by emptying the dry packet of SnoBall mix into a mixing bowl.
Then we added water and the kids mixed the solution. At first it was crumbly, but then it started getting to the right consistency. My kids love stuff like slime and anything else sensory like this, so they had a lot of fun mixing the “snow” by hand!
Once the mixture was just right and the snow was holding together, they started to shape their snowballs. The kids created a pile of snowballs – and then it was on! We set up our snowball fight in the backyard, with plenty of room to run!
We had our snowball fight on a nice day, and it was months away from seeing any real snow, which made it a lot of fun.
The kids really got into their snowball fight, and while a Zimpli Kids SnoBall is wet, there were no disasters (as real snowball fights can end in unhappiness when someone gets snow in their clothes or in their face).
The Zimpli snowballs, once thrown at each other, fell apart on the grass, and then disintegrated. I liked that there was no cleanup involved, because there are so many kid’s projects that leave you with an awful mess. The instructions do recommend breaking up any big clumps, but to be honest the kids were so busy blasting each other with snow balls and finding any clumps that could be reused, that it wasn’t an issue.
This is so much fun for kids, whether you live somewhere that doesn’t get snow or you simply want to have fun with DIY snow!
There are lots of other great Zimpli Kids products that are fun for kids, like their Slime Baff. My kids love anything involving slime and this is such a cool product!
Oh gosh my kids and I would love this. We are trying to be more active and this would come in handy to play outside and have some awesome fun.
You said the stuff disintegrated. Does that mean it didn’t need to be thrown in the garbage and was environmentally safe? I ask because in Florida we never get snowball fights, and I’d love to play with something like this, but don’t want to have to worry about the effect on the environment .
What an awesome product. We could use this right about now. We have a little snow on the ground, but not very much yet.
I will have to get this for Summer. I think it’d be great to have a Snowball fight during the summer! I know the kids would get a kick out of it too!
We live in Florida, so of course DON’T get snow… this is such a fun solution! My kids would have a blast with it. And not having to clean it all up intrigued me! 🙂
I totally need some of this. We live in FL and have made our own snow before. This seems easier and more fun!
We are in Florida and visit the snow maybe once a year. This would be a great way to get some snowball practice in before heading out! thanks!
This is fun for those that don’t get snow naturally! Or if there is a frozen themed party or something in the summer!
This sounds like a cool product for warmer months or for people who live in places that don’t get cold winters. Every kid should get to have a snowball fight once in their life!
My niece kept on asking us to play in the snow. Sadly, we do not have snow here. I think this she will be satisfied with this, looks fun!
My son would really like this. We get absolutely no snow here in Texas. Last time was about 5 years ago.
Oh wow, it really does turn into snow! Makes me miss our days in North Jersey. Winter was always fun.
that looks like so much fun. I have some friends living in the south that never see know. I’ll have to send this to them to look at.
Umm, how awesome is this? What a fun way to have a snowball fight even if you don’t have snow. Genius! My daughter would love that slime btw.
That’s awesome! We have been playing with stuffed snowballs at an outreach I volunteer at. They just aren’t quite as fun as real snowballs, but we don’t have snow. Now we can make our own.
We don’t get that much snow here in the south so that would be perfect to have. Throwing snowballs is always fun.
