You'll need:
- A few unused disposable diapers (It would be super gross to use dirty diapers.)
- Water
- A container to mix in
- silver glitter (optional)
Ok, now this is so easy you are going to think you missed something!
1) Cut open the diaper and pull out the inside absorbent layer.
2) Put it in the container and slowly add water
3) Mix until it becomes snow consistency! For powdery snow use less water, for slushy snow use more water.
4) Add a bit of glitter for some sparkle. (optional)
My girls had a TON of fun playing with the snow!
We attempted to add more water and make a snowman but it wasn't really successful. My girls did however, enjoy adding more and more water to see how slushy they could make their snow. We are currently freezing the slush mixture to see what it does...
What would your kids do with their fake snow?
WOW!! This is awesome! I am going to pin this. :) AND, this would be a great activity to share at Thrifty Thursday this week!;)
