Magic Snow Recipe
- 4 cups of frozen baking soda
- 1-2 cups of cold water (added slowly)
You will also need:
- Vinegar
- Squirt bottles
- A large bowl or container
Optional additions:
- Snow glitter
- Peppermint extract (for a wintry scent)
- Snowman parts
Method
- Begin by pouring 4 cups of frozen baking soda into a large bowl or container.
- Freezing the baking soda isn't necessary, but it makes the "snow" extra icy & cold.
- Slowly begin to add cold water and mix, slowly adding more water and mixing until the desired consistency is reached.
- As you mix the water into the baking soda the most amazing fluffy snow will form!
- This play snow is super soft, yet mold-able. It makes the best snowballs!
- It is also icy-cold, which my kids thought was "the coolest" thing!

Rosie and Jewel were in awe, and I bet your kids will be, too! This ERUPTING Snow is just too fun! With or without the vinegar it makes a fabulous sensory snow!
Note: You can use more or less water to create different snow consistencies, but the idea is to use roughly 1 part water and 2 parts baking soda.
