snowball activity

You can play the cotton ball game two ways:

1. Timed challenge with as many friends or siblings as you’d like: see who can fill a bucket in 30 seconds
2. Timed individual challenge: beat your previous time. The aim of the game is to fill the bucket in a certain time by sucking the straw and lifting the “snowball” to transfer it into a bucket. The trick is to suck and keep on sucking until the ball drops into the bucket. Transfer the balls as quick as you can!

I made myself a snowball, as perfect as could be.

I thought I’d keep it as a pet, and let it sleep with me.

I made it some pajamas, and a pillow for its head.

Then last night, it ran away. But first, it wet my bed!
