The Vancouver Aquarium has just dropped what might be the cutest video of the season: an adorable group of sea otters playing in the fresh snowfall.

And while that already sounds extremely cute, the furry pals up the adorable ante by doing something even more charming.

They make snowballs.

As one of the only animals that uses tools, otters utilize their paws for a range of activities. Not only do they use their paws to eat their meals, but they also use them to hold paws with their buddies (otherwise known as rafting). And, as seen in the video below, they use them to fashion tools for fun, too.

If you want to see them up close, the Vancouver Aquarium is offering free admission for the first time to children under 12 on Family Day (Feb. 18).
