Kids love snow!
But getting everyone all bundled up and ready to play in the snow can be time consuming..... and frustrating when they come in after just a couple minutes because it is too cold outside.
This morning, with a negative temperature reading, we decided that playing outdoors in the snow as an extension to our Antarctica unit just didn't sound like fun! So..... we came up with something WAY better - Snow Dough.
This recipe feels like snow, builds like snow, feels a little chilly, but does not melt, use snow, or require kids to get their mittens on!
2 Ingredient Snow Dough Recipe
This unassuming recipe might seem too simple to be as cool as I claim it is.
Try it; it is AMAZING!
Simply mix 2 boxes (about 32 oz) of baking soda and a bottle of white hair conditioner (about 10 oz) together.
It literally takes 3 minutes to make!
Now you can play with your indoor, non melting, totally amazing Snow Dough!
We used it as an extension activity to learning about Antarctica by adding these super cute Penguin Toob.
All my kids from Preschool to 2nd grade and 4th grade all had fun playing! When we were done we put it in a large ziplock bag to play with again another day.
This may be our new favorite sensory material - AWESOME!
