, , Homeschool, Parenting, Recipes

Where we live, we get cold weather, but we don’t really get snow. K and A have been fascinated with snow when we come across it on TV shows or in books. When we asked K what he wanted for Christmas he said, “SNOW!”

Hmmmm, I figured we could possibly drive north to catch some snow and play around for a few hours, but then it occurred to me that there must be a way to “make snow.” Find a very easy recipe on how to make some “snow” for an amazingly fun sensory play activity.

I recently heard that a friend made snow, but one of the ingredients was cornstarch. Not sure about the rest of the recipe. So I gave it some thought and went with what was handy and practical for me at the time.

I chose to try a two-ingredient recipe and it worked out really well.

Make Your own Sensory Play Snow! 2 ingredient Recipe

Ingredients:

1 can of shaving cream(regular size, original scent, unless you want your kids smelling like
a man afterwards,haha)
1 box of baking soda

Yes, that’s it!

Just mix both around until you get the consistency you want.

It looks like the kids are having a blast! I’ve never tried this recipe but in our house shaving cream alone is all that’s needed 🙂

  True. The baking soda makes it thicker, like for making snowballs for a snowball fight or for building little snowmen. 🙂

This is a great idea, my seniors can’t get out in the cold weather, so this will be a great sensory project for them to remember their past.
Thanks, Denise Senior activity director
