Snowball Tools

    January this year did not disappoint, frosty and snowy. This is not a dull, rainy, slushy December, when you had to wonder if there would be snow at least for the New Year. After all, only snowy summers can be worse than winters without snow, according to popular wisdom. Because neither sledding, nor playing snowballs, nor skiing with skatesride, not on a triple with bells to accordion, do not bother, nor run out of an ice hole in a bathhouse. In general, without snow, there would not be half of our cultural archetypes and patterns. So while nature gives us good snowy winters, we must use this, because global warming does not sleep. The main and accessible snow fun is the game of snowballs. This folk entertainment has one drawback: hands freeze to sculpt snow. And gloves and mittens are uncomfortable. And to enjoy the snow was handier and more interesting, you can use special winter gadgets.

    For example, to prepare round cold ammunition, you can use Flexible Flyer Snowball Maker ice cream tongs .



    The principle of operation is simple and obvious. You can not even fill the cups with snow, but simply lower them into a snowdrift and lower the handles. Just a gadget dream for lazy people and especially frozen subjects. Although there is another, far less numerous category of potential users - perfectionists. With due diligence, the snowball turns out to be perfectly round in shape, it will be a pity to throw such, you will see.

    Especially lazy you can offer a “ triple ”, making three snowballs at a time.



    Although stuffing them is not as convenient as the previous tongs, but you can also adapt. This device will be good for continuous production, when they no longer look at the ideal form, it would be more likely to rivet more shells.

    The next gadget is a curious combination of a spoon for quickly making a snowball and throwing it using a curved guide.



    The principle of operation of this device can be understood from the video. Do not pay attention to the awkwardness of the author of the video, he clearly does not have the knack, because he just printed his purchase.



    And this device will allow you to play snowballs like a boss. You don’t have to strain at all, this BFG will help to blind the snowballs and shoot them at the window of a neighbor.



    There is nothing complicated, in fact it is a hybrid of a “triple” and a slingshot. The manufacturer writes that this contraption allows throwing snowballs at a distance of 15 meters, although the video clearly flew further.



    And finally, we want to recommend another device. The game of snowballs can become much more interesting and varied, if not too lazy and build snow fortifications. A real activity for the whole family, for sure, children will gladly take up the construction of impregnable fortresses. And this process can be radically accelerated and simplified with the help of one very simple tool, let's call it the “ snow case ”.



    In fact, this is not a suitcase, but just a plastic box with a handle and without a bottom. You need to fill snow into it, and then shake out the resulting snow brick. By the way, this thing is worth paying attention to the aforementioned perfectionists.





    For aesthetes and adepts of snow construction there is an advanced set of three forms .

    From such snow blocks you can not only build walls for playing snowballs, but also real igloos for children and their parents. Everyone will be delighted.
