It’s winter! Do you need some fun indoor activity ideas for kids? We’re here to help! Here’s an idea from school year program:

How do you have a snowball fight when there is no snow? You build a “snowball” shooter and send the snowballs flying!

Bonus: You don’t have to get dressed to go out in the cold with this fun indoor activity and it’s way less messy!

This easy to make craft requires little supplies and is easy to make.
