Faux Snow

Faux Snow

Need a break from the summer heat? How about making some super easy Faux Snow! This snow will be fun for your children to explore and will end up with either needing to be hosed off outside or taking a bath for some easier clean up!

Supplies:

1. 2 1/2 cups baking soda
2. 1/2 cup cheap white conditioner
3. Measuring cups
4. Mixing bowl or plastic tote
5. Mixing spoon
6. Small objects to play in the snow

Directions:

1. Measure out 2 1/2 cups baking soda and place into the mixing bowl
2. Add 1/2 cup white conditioner to the baking soda
3. Mix with either your hands or a spoon
4. Add in toys to play in the snow!

Pro Tips:

1. We like to double or triple the mixture to create way more fun!
2. The bathtub is the ideal place to play with the snow prior to a bath. We regularly make
   this snow and my kids like to lather than whole bodies in it. If they lather themselves,
   please make sure they are rinses after so the baking soda does not sit on their skin for
   days!
3. When you’re done with the snow, try adding small amounts of water to the snow to talk
   about melting snow and also create a fun bath for your kids!
4. Since the mixture is made out of baking soda, the mixture can actually help with diaper
   rash when diluted with water. Please rinse after with clean water.
5. Due to the conditioner in the mixture, if you make this into a bath, please be advised your
   children will be extra slippery!
6. If you are able to save the snow, you can easily save this mixture in a sealed plastic bag.
7. This can always be played with outside, at the table or highchair!
