Have you ever had an indoor snowball fight? If not, you don't know what you are missing out on! Marshmallows, games, fun snowballs, and a great time with is had by all! They are the perfect way to have fun indoors without getting too cold. It's also a great way to add fun into your routine if you live in an area, unlike me, that doesn't get much real snow each year.
Indoor Snowball Fight
This idea is perfect for either inviting others over for a party, or to "hit" a neighbor with a snowball party. I made this little basket to share with my neighbors who were feeling a bit too cooped up. It was fun to add to their porch and get the note later saying they had a blast playing in the "snow" indoors.
I used Oriental Trading for grabbing the supplies for my party. You can pick up most of these items at any local store, on Amazon, or even your local craft stores. Make sure when shopping for supplies that you grab what you need to decorate your porch with these great snowman porch decorations. If you are throwing a snow party, you need a full snow theme! For even more fun, invite your kid's friends moms over and have a crocheting party while the kids play. You can make this cute crochet snowball motif in no time.

I tried to include a little bit of everything, tasty treats, gum, crafts, and activities to get the family together for some fun.

How to Make an Indoor Snowball Fight Kit
I used an old shoebox and wrapped it with tissue paper. Then the kids added some fun snowflake foam stickers to the front.
Use balled up plastic bags to fill your box or basket if it's too deep.
Sprinkle some paper bag stuffing onto the top of the plastic bags.
Place the taller items in the back of the box and the smaller ones near the front.
Sneak it onto your neighbor's front porch and leave this fun activity at their front door.
