Hey all, in our Dirty Santa gift exchange this weekend I got a cool Snow Block/Snowball Maker Set. I didn't know these existed and it's real use is truly to make blocks of snow for igloos/sand castles/forts and snowballs. If you aren't sure what I'm talking about you can see one at the following link ...

Snow Block/Snowball Maker Set: Snow Toys at L.L.Bean (http://www.llbean.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?storeId=1&catalogId=1&langId=-1&categoryId=48136&productId=831474&qs=3009654)

The only difference from the one in the picture is that mine has two snowball makers in the set rather than one and it's all blue instead of red.

This makes perfectly smooth round packed snowballs and worked great today with all the snow we have right now but I'm trying to think of clowny things to use it for since I don't always have snow and Oklahoma doesn't have sand for building sand castles.

Any clowny ideas for how to use this as a prop?

I don't know about using it as a prop, but I would make dozens of tiny snowmen with it.

Turn it into a hat and tell everyone that you are a blockhead.

That's cute. I like it.

A giant melon ball scooper? With two they become dueling melon ball scoopers.

Also you could use them for real to make perfect popcorn balls. (sorry got food on the brain)

ok quick idea 4th of july parade you make a christmas float or at least winter and use styrofaom blocks as a fort and balls for snowballs and just have that handy for the prop as if your using those

2nd idea can you imagine the meatballs for a plate of spaghetti you can make with the snowball maker.
3rd idea since you have a second scoop er lol you can take one apart they look like they would make great snowball throwers as separated they look like some tennis ball throwing devices i have seen for dogs
that is all i have right now can't wait to hear other ideas

Elephant pooper scoopers.

Elephant pooper scoopers.


How funny, I thought about scooping up some fake poop and calling them my pooper scoopers. Hadn't thought about it being from an elephant tho. Sounds good, my elephant from the circus.

Oh, and by the way, these made great snowballs. So quick and easy. I made a bag full of them and put them in the freezer for this summer. Won't everyone be surprized when I pull out snowballs. LOL

You could move north to NorthDakota, Minnesota, Maine, or any other northern state and have more snow than anyone knows what to do with...lol.

You could also use clay, but that might get too sticky besides snow. If nursing home clowning, you could take those with you since easy to clean and also bring cotton balls with you. Hand some cotton balls to the paitent and some for self and have a snowball fight. Use the snowball makers to hold the cotton balls is a suggestion.

Turn it into a hat and tell everyone that you are a blockhead.

I like this idea but I think it's going to be too heavy. I think everyone thinks I'm a blockhead already so it wouldn't surprise anyone that's for sure. LOL

After all the snow we got over Christmas (and still haven't gotten rid of yet), I don't think I could handle it up North. Oklahoma is as far north as I can handle. Another cold front coming in and more snow expected. Yuk!

I'm wishing I was in the Bahamas right now.
