Snowballs in Hawaii?

At the elementary school Fall Festival this weekend, Boo's class sponsored a snowball fight.

Really.



But since we live on the island of O'ahu, where the temperature stays unvaryingly around 75 degrees, the snowballs were made of flour.

Boo's fourth-grade class made over 2000 snowballs--which consisted of 1/4 cup of flour wrapped in a kleenex and secured with tape.

Boo and I personally made 125 of them.



Oh, it was a grand mess!

But the kids all had a great time, in any case. Selling the snowballs at four for a dollar, our booth ran out in less than two hours.

I helped with the sales, but fortunately was allowed to disappear at cleanup time....

  1. How did you make the 'snowballs'? How much flour? And what did you tie the kleenex with? I love this idea and would like to use it at our school carnival!

  2. Thanks for the question! It was about 1/4 cup of flour and we tied the tops with scotch tape. I can't remember if the Kleenex was 1-ply or 2-ply.
