We have had several inches of the fluffy white stuff over the past few days and as well as the usual snowball fights and snowmen building, we have had fun with the ice and snow in other ways too.
We made these ice decorations by filling plastic containers with water, food colouring, sequins and glitter before allowing them to freeze. I popped some candles into one and the Mini Mes added coloured string to theirs so that they could hang them on the trees and bushes.
We filled a water bottle with water and a few drops of food colouring to enable us to create coloured patterns in the snow.
We created coloured ice marbles for the garden by filling balloons with water and food colouring, allowing them to freeze and then popping and removing the balloons.
We went sledging.
What fun have you had with the snow?

DeleteSince last night I've had balloons filled with water and food colouring outside, but it wasn't cold enough for them to freeze :-( I've got one in the freezer to test but I can't wait, I mean, the kids can't wait to try them outside!

ReplyDeleteYour snow marbles are an excellent idea!!
ReplyDeleteYou've been busy. Love the marbles and the very pretty snow decorations :) (popping over from Snowtastic)
ReplyDeleteSo many creative and colourful ways to play in the snow there! I think your snow marbles are the first successful example I've seen. Lots of people seem to be struggling to get them to freeze.
ReplyDeleteLovely, fun ideas! I wish we'd just had some snow to try them out this Winter down here in Cornwall :)

Brilliant... just brilliant. Did you come up with this yourself? I'm so pleased that it's a finalist in the SWAN blog post awards. I thought you would want to know that the winners will be announced on 13th April at 2pm as part of our Undiagnosed Children's Awareness Day. Keep an eye on the SWAN UK blog or twitter where I will announce using @SWAN_UK and @RenataBplus3 ... GOOD LUCK!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking this up on MotivationalMonday - fingers crossed it will be warm enough to do some of this to help cool down.
