How to Make Your own Snow! Easy 2-ingredient Recipe Here

             

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."

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.

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.
The more baking soda you use, the thicker it will be (like for snow balls or snowmen).
We wanted the softer, fluffier kind of snow, so we used two can of shaving cream and just one box of baking soda. It worked out wonderfully.

Our neighbors came over when they saw what we were doing and decided to play with us. It was a lot of fun for everyone. Two cans of shaving cream and one box of baking soda was enough for 5 kids to play comfortably.

You should try it!

At the end, they all got hosed off (got off as much as possible) and hosed off the driveway. It was so easy to clean! My kids took a bath afterwards.

Here are some pictures. Enjoy. :)
