You're It!

Having a snowball fight is a fun way to let off some steam and beat cabin fever. Here's a fun way to have a snowball fight indoors, when snow is scarce. This is a great way to get your kids up and moving. (They probably have something similar for Wii, but with this version you can move around the house).

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Fiberfill (used for stuffing pillows - can be found in craft stores)

Step 1

Purchase a bag or two of fiberfill. This product is typically used for stuffing pillows and stuffed animals. You can find it in craft stores (Michael's, etc.) in the sewing department.
Step 2

Gather the troops, and set up your teams. You can create indoor forts and a "base" using chairs, blankets, tables, and so on.
Step 3

Open the package and separate the fiberfill into several small bunches, (typical snowball size).
Step 4

Have fun! Although the real stuff is always best, this snowball fight will not result in injuries or frostbite, and children will really enjoy the idea of having a snowball fight indoors.

Tips & Warnings

For extra fun, you can wear hats, mittens, etc.
You can also surprise your children with a sneak attack to initiate the fun.
When you're finished, save the fiberfill in a large plastic bag.
Another option is to use white balloons. Blow up several balloons until they are approximately the size of a snowball.
Be warned! If your children make snowballs that are too small, or start shredding the fiberfill, you will have a mess on your hands. If that happens, you can have them pretend to be snow plows to clean it up when you're done.
