Toysmith 9340 Melting Snowman Review

Poor Frosty! This piece of putty was once a cheerful snowman, but is now a shapeless blob. Bought these for my co-workers for Christmas and we enjoy building a snowman in the morning. It seems to reflect how we feel at the end of the day. We immediately notice that this product contains boric acid, so you must wash your hands after playing with it.

I ordered 3 of these toys for my grandchildren to use to make snowmen. First I read the reviews and thought they would like it because there is no real snow where we live. The kids have played with it a few times but quickly get frustrated because it starts to melt as soon as you pick it up. It comes in a nice plastic case and has cute accessories but is quite expensive for something that doesn't last as long as advertised.

That was a big disappointment. First, the amount of putty is very small. Second, the putty is very hard and tough. It reminded me of toffees with salt water. Third, when stretched, it formed strings of putty which were very difficult to handle. Fourth, this material is extremely sticky and does not appear to dissolve in water. My kids loved to play with him, but he was obsessed with too many things. And it couldn't be removed. The best part is that it came in a neat case.

I don't leave the house without this toy! If we go to a restaurant, it's a win-win situation! My kids play with this thing and watch it melt over and over again. I started giving it away, even if it's dedicated to the holiday, because no mom should be without it in her purse! Of course you need a table and it's not for kids who put little bits in their mouths, but my 5 year old and 9 year old can handle it perfectly and it's not messy at all. I would highly recommend this product to anyone with
