Looking to bring the frosty fun of a snow day into your classroomwithout the frozen fingers, red noses, or wet floors? Enter the Felt Snow Scenery Balls, the perfect way to create enchanting snowy landscapes and icy adventures in your EYFS setting without any need for thermals! These natural, felt snowballs come in varying sizes, making them ideal for crafting everything from calm, frozen tundras to bustling arctic towns. And the best part? They wont melt, no matter how high the indoor heating is cranked up!

Perfect for deep spot trays, these snowy spheres will instantly transform any play space into a winter wonderland, ready for exploration. Learners can set up floating icebergs for their favourite arctic animals to navigate, build impressive snow boulders, or construct intricate ice scenes that would make even the penguins jealous. Whether theyre using them in small world play or setting up the most epic snowball fight that never actually involves throwing, these felt snowballs provide endless opportunities for fun, all while keeping those classroom floors dry (and teachers happy).

Not only do these snowballs look delightful, but they also open the door for plenty of sneaky learning moments. From mathematical thinking as learners explore shapes, sizes, and groupings to imaginative storytelling as they set up arctic expeditions, these balls have it allminus the frostbite! No mittens required here, and you wont find yourself fishing these out of pockets at the end of the day (although the arctic animals might try to take a few home for their igloos).
