Enjoy Winter! Roundup of Snow-Play Gear (11–20)
Snowball Blaster
A gift that’s sure to delight any child who loves snowball fights is a snowball blaster.
It looks like a water gun: you use the bowl-shaped part on top to make a snowball, set it at the front, and launch it.
It’s also fun to try some target practice with the snowball blaster.
When playing, be sure to check carefully that there are no people or cars around.
And just in case, we also recommend wearing goggles.
Fluffy Snow Play Set
Even if it doesn’t snow outside, you can still have a snow day at home—try playing with a DIY kit! Just add water to the snow-making powder and stir it around with a scoop, and you’ll get fluffy snow in no time.
Once the snow is ready, gather it up and mold it into fun, cute shapes.
Snowmen and trees feel perfect for the season.
You can also make snowballs or build little snow hills and play with those.
This magical snow isn’t cold and doesn’t melt, so it’s perfect for a warm room.
Snow kickboard
There are activities you can enjoy precisely because it’s winter.
Hop on a snow kick scooter that glides easily over snowy paths and make the most of the season.
When it snows, both adults and children can’t help but get excited.
Snowball fights and building snowmen are fun, and so are skiing and snowboarding—but why not try a snow kick scooter for an easy way to enjoy the snow? You don’t need complicated gear or special techniques.
A snow kick scooter, which you ride just like a regular kick scooter while kicking off along the snowy ground, goes faster than you might expect and is thrilling.
They’re sturdy enough for adults too, so why not give it a try with your family or friends?
snow tube
Why not try sliding on the snow on an air tube, like a float, and have some fun? It’s super easy to play.
Just ride the air tube and slide down a gentle slope.
Surprisingly, you can pick up quite a bit of speed, and it’s thrilling.
If you can keep your balance and make it all the way down without falling, it feels amazing.
Even if you do fall, it’s relatively safe because the snow is cushioned.
It’s also fun to make a game of it with friends or family by competing to see who can slide the farthest.
snow racer
How about trying a dedicated course designed specifically for serious snow racing? You can slide and have fun anywhere on a snow-covered mountain, but running on a special, purpose-built course offers a different kind of enjoyment.
It’s great to experience snow racing on a course engineered for comfortable riding.
With curves and slopes carefully calculated, the course provides a kind of excitement you won’t find in your usual runs.
Wear protective gear like a helmet and goggles, and have fun safely.
mini ski
These days, more people are trying mini skis.
Among them, a product I especially recommend is called “snowfeet II Mint Blue.” It’s structured more like ice skates than traditional skis, which lets you glide over the snow without using poles.
If you want to try a sport that’s a bit different from what everyone else is doing, definitely check it out.
Also, when you play, please make sure to review and follow the rules of the ski resort you’re at.

Easy! Make a duck using tools
Here’s an idea for making ducks using items from a 100-yen shop.
They’re originally meant for playing in sand, but you can use them in the snow, too.
The great thing about this item is that there’s a duck mold attached to the ends of crossed handles, so you can just grab the handles and press them together to form a duck.
Even small children, who might find it hard to pack snow into a mold, can enjoy it as long as there’s a decent amount of snow.
When it comes to snow, snow bunnies are the classic choice, but why not try making ducks for a change?
