How to Make Your Own Snow

by Angela Thayer 7 Comments

Did you know that you can make your own snow?! It’s really a neat sensory activity!! If you live in place where you don’t can’t experience snow, here’s your chance!

How to Make Your Own Snow

Here’s what you need:

  • 1 can of shaving cream
  • 2 boxes of baking soda
  • large container

To make the snow, mix baking soda with shaving cream. I just mixed with my hands until I got a good consistency.

The neat thing about this, is that it actually feels a bit cold, like snow! It’s soft, moldable, squishy, and just plain fun to play with! I think it felt a little bit like cloud dough.

It’s a great way to practice making snowballs.

We played with penguins in our homemade snow!

And do you know what goes well with baking soda?? Vinegar! Yep, that’s right…we sprayed vinegar all over the homemade snow! The boys were SO excited to see it fizz.

      It was a small box, which I think is 16 ounces.
