Magic Snow Recipe

What do you do when you have two kids dying to play in the snow, but there isn't any?  You make your own!  This snow is naturally cold, making it the most realistic play snow we have tried so far.  It is fluffy and powdery, and you only need two ingredients to make it!  Are you ready to see how?

I am super excited to share this play recipe today! My girls had so much fun making & playing in FAUX SNOW that was actually cold!  Read on for the easy tutorial.

HOW TO MAKE MAGIC SNOW

• 4 cups of frozen baking soda
• 1-2 cups of cold water (added slowly)

You will also need:

• Vinegar
• Squirt bottles
• A large bowl or container

Optional additions:

• Glitter
• Peppermint extract (for a wintry scent)
• Snowman parts 

Method

• Begin by pouring 4 cups of frozen baking soda into a large bowl or container.

• Freezing the baking soda isn't necessary, but it makes the "snow" extra icy & cold.
• Slowly begin to add cold water and mix, slowly adding more water and mixing until the desired consistency is reached.
• As you mix the water into the baking soda the most amazing mold-able snow will form!

• This play snow is super soft, yet mold-able.  It makes the best snowballs!

• It is also icy-cold, which my kids thought was "the coolest" thing!

PLAYING WITH MAGIC SNOW

There are so many fun ways for kids to play with this easy to make snow!  Here are a few ideas to get you started:

• Add snowman parts so that the kids can build snowmen.

• Add cars and trucks for a quick-shift sensory bin.
• Practice writing letters in the snow.

Extend the Fun

Just when kids start to get bored give them squirt bottles of vinegar, and the fun can begin again!

• Rosie and Jewel had a blast making magic snowballs and fizzing snowmen!  

They played & played & played!

Rosie and Jewel were in awe, and I bet your kids will be, too! This ERUPTING Snow is just too fun! With or without the vinegar it makes a fabulous sensory snow!
Note:  You can use more or less water to create different snow consistencies, but the idea is to use roughly 1 part water and 2 parts baking soda.
