- Pack the snow down so that it is firm on the surface and not fluffy.

- Lay poster board on top of the snow if desired. We did this so that we could keep a few pieces of our art.
Preparing the Rockets
- Fill each film canister roughly 1/3 of the way with cold water.
- Add a squirt of paint to each canister and stir until combined.

- Now, break alka-seltzer tablets into 3-4 pieces.
- You will want to use 1-2 pieces per rocket.
- When ready drop a few pieces of a tablet into a film canister, quickly secure the lid, and then flip the canister upside down and place it on the firmly packed snow.
- Now, step back!
- Within a few seconds the snow rockets will go flying high into the air!

- As the rockets launch the lids will fly off and the colors inside will explode in the air, leaving beautiful works of art on the snow below.

As they flew through the air the colors launched HIGH before splattering into beautiful explosions onto the snowy canvas below.

And the more rockets we launched the more beautiful our snowy canvas became!

We played & played until we were all out of alka-seltzer, and my girls are already asking when we will make snow rockets again!
