DIY Snow
Here in central Texas we don’t get much snow. Our winters are mild at best; you’re more likely to have a sunny, yellow Christmas than a white one. So, we like to take matters into our own hands and create our own wintery wonderland!
Materials:
Baking Soda
Shaving Cream
Popsicle stick
Bowl
Water
Directions:
Mix equal parts baking soda and shaving cream into a bowl. The more you use, the more snow you will make!
Stir with a popsicle stick…or your hands!
Add a little bit of water. More water creates a wetter snow. Less water will create more powdery snow.
OPTIONAL-Add a small amount of glitter.
Can you shape your snow into a ball? A snowman?
Try This!
Pour some of your snow onto a flat surface. Use a rolling pin to smooth out your snow. Grab a small toy with feet (doll, plastic animal, etc.) and press it lightly into the snow. Does it make an imprint? Make prints with several different shaped toys and let a family member or friend try to guess which toy goes with which imprint!
❄️Want to keep your snow? You can place it in a sealed container or ziplock bag at room temperature…and it won’t melt! Now that’s probably the best thing about DIY snow!❄️
