January this year did not disappoint, frosty and snowy. This is not a dull, rain-slushy December, when you had to guess whether it would be snowing at least for the New Year. Indeed, only a snowy summer can be worse than a winter without snow, as popular wisdom says. Because neither to go sledding, not to play snowballs, to go skiing with skates , not to play the three of the bells to match the accordion, nor to break out of the bathhouse naked. In general, without the snow there would be no half of our cultural archetypes and patterns. So while nature gives us good snowy winters, we must use it, because global warming does not sleep. Home and all available snow fun - a game of snowballs. This national entertainment has one drawback: hands freeze to make snow. And in gloves and mittens uncomfortable. And to enjoy the snow was more handy and interesting, you can use special winter gadgets.
The principle of operation is simple and obvious. You can not even fill the cup with snow, but simply lower them into a snowdrift and reduce the handles. Just a dream gadget for lazy and especially cold subjects. Although there is one more, far less numerous category of potential users - perfectionists. With due diligence snowball turns ideally round shape, it will be a pity to throw such, you'll see. ')
Particularly lazy you can offer a " triple ", making three snowballs at a time.
Although stuffing them is not as convenient as the previous tongs, but you can also adapt. This device will be good for mass production, when no one looks at the ideal form, rather, it would be possible to rivet more shells.
The next gadget is a curious combination of a spoon for quickly making a snowball and throwing it using a curved guide.
The principle of this adaptation can be understood from the video. Do not pay attention to the clumsiness of the author of the video, he clearly lacks the skill, because he has just printed out his purchase.
And this device will allow you to play snowballs like a boss. There is no need to strain at all, this BFG will help you to make snowballs and shoot them out the window to your neighbor.
There is nothing complicated, in fact, it is a hybrid of a “threesome” and a slingshot. The manufacturer writes that this thing allows you to throw snowballs at a distance of 15 meters, although the video clearly flew farther.
And finally, we would like to recommend another device. The game of snowballs can become much more interesting and diverse, if you are not too lazy and build snow fortifications. The real occupation for the whole family, for sure, children will be happy to start building impregnable fortresses. And this process can be radically accelerated and simplified with the help of one very simple tool, let's call it the “ snow suitcase ”.
In fact, this is not a suitcase, but only a plastic parallelepiped with a handle and without a bottom. In it you need to fill the snow, and then shake out the resulting snow brick. By the way, the aforementioned perfectionists should also pay attention to this thing.
