Fake Snow Recipe

Hello Preschool Families!

Here is one option for a fake snow recipe if you'd like to make a fake snow sensory bin for your child to play with at home:
         You will only need 2 ingredients -- white conditioner and baking soda

1. Mix 2  1/2 cups of pure baking soda with 1/2 cup of white hair conditioner. 
2. Stir the mixture until the ingredients are well combined.
3. Transfer mixture to a sensory bin or tray for your child to play in.
4. Enjoy!

NOTE: If your snow is too "wet", add more baking soda!

Here are some ideas of what you can do with fake snow:

• Build a snow man or snow fort
• Place polar animal toys in the snow to play with
• Hide letters or numbers in the snow to find & practice naming them!
• Write in the snow with your finger to practice letters, numbers, words, etc.
• Put various sized/shaped containers/scoops in the bin to use in the snow
• Use toy construction vehicles to "shovel" the snow

You can also make some puffy snow paint at home and use it to paint a snow man!

• Mix 1 cup of white glue with 1 cup of shaving cream.
• Paint with it!

I hope you enjoy these activities!

Blessings,
