This homemade snow turned out so "cool"!  It is icy-cold, ultra fluffy, & it foams!  It is soft like fluffy clouds, yet mold-able- making it great for forming snowmen & magic snowballs! 

Are you ready to make snow foam? 

HOW TO MAKE SNOW FOAM

Materials

• 4 cups of frozen baking Soda
• 2-4 cups of shaving Cream

Method

• Add the desired amount of frozen baking soda to a sensory bin or container. We used four cups of baking soda.
• Slowly begin to mix shaving cream into the baking soda, slowly adding more shaving cream and mixing until the desired consistency is reached.

• We used roughly the same amount of both ingredients, but this is a very forgiving recipe.  Just keep mixing the shaving cream into the baking soda until you are happy with the consistency.

That's it!  After a bit of mixing you will have the perfect sensory snow!

This homemade snow is fluffy, soft, & ICY-cold just like REAL SNOW! You can mold it into perfect snowmen, and it makes the most amazing snowballs!

Rosie and Jewel delighted in building in the foaming snow and played for over an hour.  

Then, just when they were getting bored I revealed a "big secret".  Not only does this snow feel almost exactly like the real thing, but it also magically FOAMS when a bit of vinegar is added!

The reaction between the ingredients was unique to any other baking soda and vinegar reaction we have seen in our play.

The snow doesn't bubble like our erupting snow. It foams SLOWLY.  The reaction lasts longer and builds and builds..... into a HUGE foaming volcano of fun!

The girls had so much fun with this easy to make snow.
