Yesterday I asked my daughters if they wanted to go outside. I had made some "snow paint" from leftover Kool-aide that I used to buy. They didn't want to brave the cold, so we brought the fun inside.
To make your own is simple bring in some clean snow with clean utensils (In cas the kids take a taste!) Use an old dish soap bottle filed with Kool Aid for coloring.
We did the same exact thing today too! Perfect for those days when getting the kids dressed in all of their snow gear will take longer than you know they will last outside ;)
ReplyDeleteExacty!!
DeleteSo jealous you have actual snow to work with! This looks like a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteEh, it's fun the first few times, but it gets old! They like to go out and play in it, but as soon as my one year old looses her gloves (which is never long) she cries to go in.
DeleteAhhh now that is fun! I love the koolaid idea too :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! It wasn't sweetened, but Addie still ate the red snow and said, "YUM!" It wasn't meant to be a snack!
DeleteGreat idea! I think we'll be doing some of that this weekend. How old are your girls?
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful. Easy clean up too. It doesn't splash like water play! They are 1 and 3.
DeleteQuick work before it melts!
ReplyDeleteAddie wanted to EAT hers before it melted!
DeleteMy kids LOVE bringing snow in like this! It's such a fun way for them to play in the snow without getting too cold.

ReplyDeleteOh, how fun!! Great idea for those super cold days. Thank you for sharing at Sharing Saturday!!
ReplyDeleteWe had to bring our brief snow inside because it was too windy out. Coloring with Kool-Aid is a great idea! Thanks for sharing at the Sunday Showcase. :)
ReplyDeleteMy kids would love this if only we had snow! I'm featuring this tomorrow on The Sunday Showcase.
