HOW TO MAKE SNOW

HOW TO MAKE SNOW You will need: I lb Baking soda Shaving cream (I suggest using unscented and organic if possible) 2 drops of Lavender essential oil (you can buy them at wholesale prices) 1. Let the kids pour 1lb of baking soda. 2. Spray shaving cream. We used a good handful of it. But you should experiment with it by starting spraying some and then adding as needed. 3. Let the kids ‘knead the snow’. ‘The snow’ will start forming almost immediately. THE CLEAN-UP I found it easier to just put a blanket on the floor and let them play there instead of putting it on the table. The cleanup was pretty easy. I just grabbed the blanket when they were done and shook it off outside. Whatever was left on the carpet I just vacuumed. Baking soda itself is a perfect natural cleaner, added with some essential oils was like self carpet cleaning. Kids had a blast playing with snow. Mostly by just touching it and enjoying the sensory play. Later they figured the snow could form in a shape, so they used sand toys to make some mini snow castles.
