Snow Mini-Markers
Vanessa M.: The whole world is their canvas with these fun snow markers! Kids can play tic-tac-toe with a friend, decorate a snowman, write their names, or draw whatever they wish in the snow.
Snowball Maker
Beth Wood: This dome-mold invention is one of the best snow toys ever! When arming yourself for an epic snowball battle, you'll want to use these snowball makers. You'll be able to make perfectly shaped snowballs in half the time as using your hands!
Snow Block Mold
Vanessa M.: One of the best snow toys for open-ended play as kids design and build their own snow castles. The strong plastic mold shapes the snow into blocks to form amazing snow forts and castles! It's a favorite to bring to the beach for building sandcastles in the summer, too.
Snow Paw L'il Digger
Vanessa M.: These snow toys make digging easier! Kids can grasp these with their mittened hands, and effectively dig for fun in the snow.
Baby Boggan Sled
Beth Wood: Littles can join in the fun by taking a ride on this sled for babies and toddlers. The extra long tow rope makes it easy for parents to pull.

Vanessa M.: This snowman kit makes putting Frosty together super easy, and the results are adorable! It includes everything you need to make the perfect snowman minus the snow.
Indoor Snowballs
Beth Wood: When you've had enough of the cold or want to continue the wintertime fun indoors, these "indoor" snowballs made of squishy, soft material are the perfect answer! We've had our set for over two years and our entire family loves having indoor snowball fights with these indoor snowballs year round!
Sno-Stompers
Vanessa M.: Kids can strap Sno-Stompers on top of their boots or shoes, then stomp around in the snow to make fun animal tracks! Their imaginations take over as they stomp around as a bear or dinosaur.
Sno-Buddy Penguin
Beth Wood: Create an entire army of snow penguins when you're out playing in the snow!
Zipfy Freestyle Mini Luge Snow Sled
Vanessa M.: This fun snow sled has a joystick-like handle that gives excellent steering control. To stop or slow down, simply dig your heels in the snow. The Zipfy sled is lightweight and easy to transport back up the hill. Great for grownups too as it can hold up to 250 lbs.
Geospace Original LED Ski Skooter
Vanessa M.: This is a great outdoor snow toy for kids who want to try out snowboarding. It has a fold-down handle, super grip deck, and LED lights. Don't pack it away in the warmer months, it also works great on flat, smooth surfaces such as grassy hills and sand dunes!
Rocky Mountain Goods Kids Snow Shovel
Age 3-12
Vanessa M.: While adults may see a snow shovel and groan, little ones will delight at seeing a kids snow shovel that is just their size. Kids will enjoy shoveling the driveway alongside mom or dad, or using their shovel to dig through the snow! It has a unique bend proof design.
L.L.Bean Kids' Pull Sled and Cushion Set
Sarah C.: We love the classic LL Bean sled. It is amazing quality and looks great! There are 2 sizes depending on how many children you want to fit in it. It is on the pricier side, but I see this as an heirloom piece that we will pass down generation to generation.
Sled Legs
Katie G.: Sled Legs give you all the fun of sledding without the sled. These super cool, plastic "legs" attach to your human legs below your knee and allow you to run, jump and slide down hills. The foam inside protects your shins and the durable plastic on the outside help them last for many slides. Sled legs come in two different sizes with five fun colors to choose from. Best part about these portable legs is you don't have to worry about carrying your sled back up the hill with you.
L.L.Bean Sonic Snow Tube
Alexandra F.: This snow tube from L.L. Bean was originally designed to be used at commercial tubing parks, so you can feel confident that it will last your family through many years of good use!
