This morning we woke up too about an inch of snow covering the ground.
Despite me telling my 3-year-old numerous times that this wasn’t enough snow to go sledding or build a snowman, she insisted we go outside.
We went for a walk this morning…….
…..However, that wasn’t too exciting.
After we came home, I put Joel down for a nap and that is when I remembered this idea I had heard about a few years back. Snow paint! For kids!
It’s a quick, easy, relatively clean, creation that can create fun for hours!
….so we got to work
Things you’ll need:
-A few empty water bottles. You can buy these brand new for less than a dollar. We just happened to have a few empty cleaning bottles, so I thoroughly cleaned them for us.
– Water
– Food coloring
– A snow day!
Since we used empty cleaning bottles, I made sure to throughly clean them. First, by hand, then dishwasher. Then we filled them halfway with cold tap water. The more water you use the more dye you’ll have to use. We didn’t want our colors to be too diluted.
We chose red, blue and green for our colors and added about 5-10 drops to each bottle. We wanted our colors to be nice and dark.
Then we shook them up really well!
Once our water was the color(s) we wanted it to be we got bundled up and took our spray paint bottles out into the yard. We sprayed them onto the snow!
The colors came out so vibrant! Our snow paint was a success!
Try it out! Enjoy!
