Snowball Fight Game with Yarn Pom Pom Snowballs
A DIY Indoor Snowball Game that uses a pom pom maker that makes yarn pom pom snowballs. This is an easy to make Snowball Fight game with pom pom string snowballs.
A few years ago, I was spending the holidays with my daughter and her family in Southern California and I made several yarn pom pom snowballs for my granddaughter. She had a blast running through the house having a snowball fight game with anyone and everyone.
As you probably already guessed, there is never any snow in her yard but she had the next best thing an indoor snowball fight game. Maybe the best thing because no frozen hands and the snow never melts.
The yarn pom pom snowballs eventually were damaged beyond repair (I do believe their puppy did get involved).
Now she has a 2-year-old little sister and I decided they both needed a pile of snowballs for a new indoor snowball fight game.

Notes
Evelyn, I just love, love, LOVE this! I am kind of addicted to pom poms and isn't the Clover Pom Pom maker the best? This is such an adorable idea!! Thank you so much for the inspiration – sharing and pinning!
This made such a cute Holiday gift!! And great for the days my kids are locked in the house.
Wow I NEED a pompom maker! I started to make a pompom snowball fight for my daughters, but I just have 2 lonely pompoms in a bag 🙁
I didn't even know that these existed! Thanks so much for sharing!!!!
Oh, you are such a clever Grandma! I especially like the fact that long-distance Grandmas can send snowballs to their little grands and it's perfect for a range of ages!
These are so adorable – I shared them with my daughter too.
We just love these!
I did the lazier version – store-bought pom poms and they are more expensive than you would believe. But now I’m making these and saving money.
