So grab some snowballs and let’s make some fun snowball crafts together. Here are 11 of our favorite snowball crafts for kids:
Snowball Slime
Ingredients.
- 3 cups of shaving cream (white is best, but you can use color if you want)
- 1/4 cup of cornstarch or flour
- Food coloring, optional – for your own safety, do not use red food coloring in this recipe. Instead, try using blue or green.
Snowflake Shaker
This is a great project for kids to make and shake out snowflakes. You can use it as a fun activity to do together, or as part of a winter theme.
You can also use it to make a craft afterward.
Supplies.
- paper cup
- hot glue gun with glue sticks (or tape)
- needle & thread (or ribbon)
Snowball Sensory Bag
You will need
- Snowballs
- Water
- Food coloring (optional)
- Glitter (optional)
Materials. A plastic bag, a funnel, a bowl, a spoon, and a cookie sheet. You may also want paper towels and markers to keep cleaning up easy.
Snowball Game
The snowball game is one of the best ways to have fun in the snow, especially if you’re a kid. It involves throwing snowballs at each other and trying to hit them on the head.
You can play this game with friends or even just by yourself because it’s fun either way!
Get plenty of snowballs: Before you start playing, make sure there are enough snowballs for everyone who wants to play. If not, make some more using these instructions.
Make sure there’s a safe place to play,
This means making sure there aren’t any trees where you could get hurt if someone throws a snowball at you or anything else that could cause damage if hit by a snowball (like cars).
The safest place would be outside your house and away from traffic unless otherwise stated by law enforcement officials when they’re not around like during Christmas break when most schools close down until Jan 7th which means parents will have more free time than usual so they won’t miss out on having fun while still being responsible adults who care about their children’s safety before anything else 🙂
Frozen-Themed Snowball Punching Bag
Materials Needed.
- A large garbage bag with a drawstring (the kind you would use to collect leaves or pine needles)
- Several small balls or other items that can be used as snowballs (such as ping-pong balls, tennis balls, etc.)
- Glue gun with hot glue sticks (optional)
Indoor Snowball Fight
An indoor snowball fight is a great way for kids (and adults) to get their energy out in the winter.
The best part about an indoor snowball fight is that you can play it safe and avoid any injuries by using a pillowcase as your target.
Cut off the bottom of a pillowcase so that it becomes like a bucket. You could also use an old shirt or just cut off pieces of fabric from another piece of clothing, but using a pillowcase is really fun because it gives kids something fun and silly to throw around the house!
Fill up the empty part with snowballs (or other items if you don’t have any snow handy). If there’s no snow where you live, feel free to improvise some other material such as dry leaves or cotton balls!
Have fun throwing your new creation around the house until everyone gets tired – then go outside for real action!
Frozen Olaf Snowballs
If you have a few minutes to spare, these snowballs are a great way to keep your kids occupied on a cold winter’s day.
Assemble your materials. Paper (white printer paper works best)
- Glue stick or white glue
- Markers (optional; we recommend Crayola Washable Markers)
- Scissors or craft knife
Instructions.
Cut out six circles from the white printer paper and glue them together into two balls. These will be Olaf’s head and body. Use the markers to draw eyes, eyelashes, eyebrows, and mouth on one side of each ball in this order: face first then hairline last!
Make sure that each part is drawn in proportion to each other so as not to distort Olaf’s face too much when glued together later on. Once both halves are complete trim off any excess from around their edges with scissors or a craft knife;
if using an adult-sized hand mold such as ours only cut off enough material so that it fits comfortably inside without being too tight for comfort – otherwise, there may be some tears later on when it comes time for playtime fun!
Snowman Craft
- Place a cotton ball on a paper plate.
- Use newspaper or wrapping paper to make the scarf, and secure it with a rubber band.
- Use pipe cleaners to make arms and hands (two for each snowman).
- Optionally, you can use styrofoam balls as heads for your snowmen.
Melting Sledding Penguin Snowman Craft
- Use a plastic sled.
- Use a white shower cap.
- Use a white balloon.
- Use a white sock.
- Use a white towel.
Enjoy These Snowball Crafts With Your Kids!
Have your child roll a handful of snowballs and place them in the freezer. When you’re ready to play, toss them at each other while laughing heartily. The cold will make it that much more fun!
- Snowball Fight
Use this activity when there’s snow on the ground or if you live in an area where there’s plenty of freezing rain or sleet. It makes for a great indoor activity during the winter months, too.
- Snowball Game
You can use both frozen and nonfrozen snowballs in this game—though it’ll be more fun if they’re frozen! This is also great for parties with friends and family members; set up stations where people can create their own unique designs before throwing them at one another’s faces (or just have everyone throw them at once).
- Snow Slime
This slime recipe makes for excellent sensory play during colder months when it’s difficult for children to go outside due to frigid temperatures outside!
Conclusion
We hope you enjoyed this list of snowball crafts for kids. There are so many great projects to try out and it’s really up to your imagination how far you go with them. With how simple they are, we highly recommend making one with your children at least once or twice before winter is over!
