DIY Winter Craft: Fake Snow

Give the Play-Doh a break and help kids create their own fake snow instead.

There are plenty of recipes out there for fake snow, but we love the recipes that use ingredients you probably already have on hand. This recipe uses just two simple ingredients, and we bet you won't even need to make a trip to the store for them.

Tip: You can use other colors of conditioner, but just note that the color of the conditioner will be the color of the snow. So if you use a beige conditioner, for example, then the snow will be beige.

Baking Soda

Instructions:

#1. Mix 1/2 cup of conditioner for every 3 cups of baking soda in a tub or container. If you want to create more snow, just add more baking soda and conditioner. Just be sure to stick with that ratio so your snow will stay packed!


Tub

#2. Play with your creation! To avoid a mess, you might want to confine play inside the tub or container.
