Yarn "Snowball" - FAILED!!!

I saw this idea somewhere online in my hunt for snow themed activities.  I think it was supposed to be more paper-mache style, and maybe I blew the balloon up too big, but it really didn't work.  We might try again, with some adjustments.  The idea is to mix glue and water together, run the yarn through it then lay it on the balloon and allow to dry.  Then you pop the ballon and it creates a ball.  If you add glitter it is supposed to look like a snowball.  At any rate, Rose tired of putting the yarn on the balloon, so there are many bare spots.  And I would probably try putting the glitter in the glue mixture rather than sprinkling it on top.  When we popped our balloon it looked really pathetic...

Funny! But it kept everyone occupied, so I'd say it was not a total failure.
