How to Make a Paper Snowball

A couple enjoying a "classic" snowball fight, which they might wish to duplicate in the summer months.

Having a snowball fight is one of the most cherished activities of childhood (and even adulthood). However, some areas of the world do not get cold enough for it to snow, or you may wish to have a snowball fight in an off season. Why not create an alternative snowball and have a blast?

Instructions

1. Gather paper. Use scrap paper if possible. Be sure to use full 8 1/2" x 11" sheets, or the balls will be too small.

2. Crumple the paper into balls. You can make larger "snowballs" by crumpling two or more pieces of paper together.

3. When you are done playing with your "snowballs," be sure to collect all of the balls and recycle them.

Tips & Warnings

• Do not throw paper snowballs at your partner's face. Paper cuts are a minimal but real risk.
