Snow in the desert! Build your own snowy world with fluffy instant snow, a snowman snow-maker and a little cast of winter friends. Scoop, pour and pinch your way through the scene.
Why it helps
Squeezing the snowman snow-maker, picking up tiny figures with tweezers and setting up the scene build the hand strength and finger control children need for writing, cutting and dressing. Squishing and shaping the cool snow also gives calming touch and pressure input. Designed by a paediatric occupational therapist to make skill-building feel like play.

How to play
