"Too much fun! I bought these for my 30+ year old son and 3 year old grandson. The first time we tried them, the snow was dry and fluffy and they did not work. The moment I heard that we were having a heavy, wet snow, I headed out doors. In seconds, I had all these perfect snowballs! I love this...may have to order more for Christmas gifts next year."
