DIY Fake Snow

 

We may be approaching spring but some little hearts of some kiddos are still wishing for the powdery white goodness of snow!! Bring their wishes & smiles to life with this simple DIY from YL's blog. -Katie Weber

INGREDIENTS :

  • 4 cups baking soda

  • 1 can unscented shaving cream (amount may vary depending on temperature and humidity levels in your home)

  • 5–8 drops SniffleEase

YL tip: Don’t have SniffleEase? Swap out this blend for any of your other family favorites! Just be sure to follow safety guidelines when using oils around your little ones.

HOW TO MAKE:

  1. Measure baking soda into a bowl. If you plan on having your kids help create this DIY snow recipe, use a medium-sized plastic container with a lid for easy storage and mess-free mixing.

  2. Add shaving cream a little bit at a time and knead with a wooden spoon or your hands. Add more and keep mixing until you reach a snow-like consistency that holds its shape when pressed. You don’t want the snow to be too sticky or too dry.

  3. Once you reach your desired consistency, add essential oils and knead until the scent is fully incorporated.

  4. Watch your kiddos have a blast as they make new memories with this fun sensory play craft!

YL tip: For added fun, bring out any winter-themed toys you have. Penguins, polar bears, figurines, and more will add extra excitement and creativity to this DIY. Show your little ones how to create their own snowman to turn playtime into a winter wonderland of imagination.

TO STORE:

After playtime, store your homemade snow in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to five days.
