Super fun snow stuff!

Super fun snow stuff!

1.14.2014

Living in a frozen Tundra is hard! We live in such a beautiful part of the country. Who doesn't love snow for the holidays? We love crafting with our little boy but, we can only build so many snow men & have so many snowball fights before we get bored! I recently combed the Web for a new way to pass the time. Here are my 3 favorites! You can still play in the snow to your heart's content! My favorite part was that all 3 use color!

"What you need
2 spoonfuls of baking soda (bicarbonate of soda )
1 spoonful washing up liquid
a few drops of red food coloring
30 ml vinegar

Method
Add everything except the vinegar to the water bottle.
Stand back, get ready……add the vinegar and watch the eruption! If it doesn’t work so well, add a bit more washing up liquid and vinegar."
