Best Toys

Winter may be the coldest time of the year, but that doesn’t mean that it can’t be any fun. Toys designed to work with the weather and the snow may help to make this your child’s favorite season, but with so many to choose from, how do you choose the best snow toys? This list may help.

Ski Skoot

The Ski Skoot is one of the only year round toys on the market. It’s a scooter your kids can use throughout the spring, summer and fall, and once the first snow hits, you can turn it into the best winter toy you’ve ever seen. Featured on major media outlets like The Today Show, this great snow toy has skis that snap on and off depending on the weather in your area. With a special breaking system, you get extra stopping power most scooters today don’t have, and the locking pin on the handle keeps the toy from collapsing while your kids ride.

Flexible Flyer Snowball Maker

When you were a kid, you probably spent hours making misshapen snowballs for a big snow ball war. Tired and cold, your fingers probably got so sick of snow balls, you had to go inside before the war ever took place. Today’s kids, though, can enjoy the Snowball Maker from Flexible Flyer. The great people who have been making the world’s best sleds for years have finally designed lightweight plastic toys that offer perfect snowballs without frozen hands. It’s a great way to stock up on snow balls for a kids versus parents snow ball fight.

Wham-O Snowball Blaster

Once you’ve made all of those great snowballs, though, you certainly need a good way to launch them, and the Wham-O Snowball Blaster is the ideal tool for that job. It holds up to three snow balls in the chamber at once, ensuring your kids friends (or your kids if you’re holding it) won’t be safe from the bombardment that is sure to be unleashed. Made from durable plastic that will last winter after winter, plan on hitting targets up to fifty feet away with this cool snow toy.

Snow Block Maker

In areas that get quite a bit of snow throughout the winter, seeing an igloo or snow fort in every yard isn’t uncommon, but putting one together takes quite a bit of work. Fortunately, Flexible Flyer came up with the Snow Block Maker, thus creating an easy, fun process the whole family can enjoy. Created from light plastic that is easy to carry yet durable enough for season after season of use, you’ll get enough 5″ x 7″ x 10″blocks out of these snow toys to create an entire snow castle in your front yard if you choose.

Snow Bunker

For some, though, that may seem like a bit much work for a creation that will just melt as soon as the sun comes out, and for those people, Aviva Arctic created the Snow Bunker. An inflatable snow fort that your little ones will love, it’s made from cold crack PVC that is designed to take the toughest weather or snowball battle. These snow toys inflate and deflate quickly, and they include a tunnel that your kids will get a kick out of.
