How To Make Artificial Snow With Only 2 Ingredients.

There you go, you have made your own artificial snow :-)

Easy, fast and efficient, right?

You will see, the snow forms almost immediately. It's magic!

Of course, you can let the children help you.

It's a great activity to do with children, from 2 or 3 years old.

Let them pour the baking soda into the container, then knead the mixture.

They will love making their own snow!

Precautions

Be careful, this artificial snow is much less toxic than industrial artificial snow.

But since we use shaving foam, children should not swallow it. It is not edible.

But the salty taste of baking soda should quickly dissuade them;-)

How to use your artificial snow?

You can use this artificial snow for the decoration of your nativity scene or Christmas tree as explained here.

Kids can also just play with it and form little snowmen with their hands or some molds (you know the ones we use at the beach).

To do this, spread a blanket or plastic sheet on the floor.

It's easier than sitting on the table. And let the children's imagination do the rest!

They play with it like it's real snow. It's a great sensory activity!

In addition, for cleaning, nothing could be simpler. Just take the blanket or tablecloth and shake it out.

If your artificial snow has spilled a little on the carpet or rug. Don't panic!

A vacuum cleaner and everything is perfect. Remember that baking soda is an exceptional natural cleanser, just like essential oils.

As a result, you clean your rug or carpet on the way!

You can even offer your artificial snow at Christmas! Put it in a jar, add some glitter to make it even more beautiful.

Close the jar and add a big knot. It's a great gift, isn't it?

So if you can't go to the snow... Make the snow come to you!
