Winter is here, which means the weather is quickly changing.
If you’re lucky, there will most likely be snowfall if there wasn’t
already. So when the snow storm keeps
you snowed in, here are some unique, playful ways to spend your snow days:
1.Ice cube hunt
Who says you have to wait until Easter for
an “Easter Egg Hunt”?! An Ice cube hunt
is just as fun! Here is how you do
it: While making the ice cubes, put food
coloring in to make them different colors.
Hide them in a designated area throughout the snow. First person to find the most ice cubes wins!
2. Make Snow Ice Cream
It’s fun to eat snow- but even more fun to
eat snow ice cream!
Recipe: 1 cup milk
1 egg, well beaten
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
clean snow
Beat egg; add milk, sugar and salt. Mix together well. Add enough snow to make it thick.

3. Build a Bomb Shelter
Why build an igloo, when you can build a
bomb shelter! Go all out, make sure it’s
sturdy enough to outlast a war of snow bombs.
Make it look cool by adding a snow couch and store the necessary food
and beverages in your very own handmade snow refrigerator.
4. Collect Snowflakes
Snowflakes are so pretty! Here is a way you can look at all of the
pretty snowflakes without fear of them melting in your hand:
Materials:
Microscope slide or small piece of thin
Plexiglas
Plastic container
Spray can of clear lacquer
Magnifying glass
Directions:
Cool down the
slide, container and lacquer so snowflakes won’t melt when landing on the
slide. Spray thin coat of lacquer on slide and tilt so any extra spray runs
off. Make sure the lacquer sets for a few minutes. Catch a bunch of snowflakes
on slide and then put them back into container and cover them with a lid. Leave
the slide outside to harden for about three to four hours. View the beautiful
snowflakes with a magnifying glass.
5. Snow Decorating
Fill up spray
bottles of water and food coloring, go outside and start decorating your
snow! The neighbors will be so jealous
of your artistic yard filled with colorful snow.
