Materials

Instructions

  • Scoop snow from outside and add to the bin.
  • Add water to two midsized containers.
  • Drop five squirts of food coloring into the water containers. Stir it. You can do more or less depending on how bright you’d like the color.
  • Place the droppers into the snow.
  • Invite your child to come and explore color mixing.

Notes

PRO TIP: I use an indoor bike mat to protect my floors or carpet from messy sensory play. I did not use one with this activity, but I highly recommend it. It keeps the floor clean, provides a border for the kids to play, and is soft enough to sit on.
