Make a mini ‘snowman’

Have you ever wished you could play with snow? Well, how about making fake snow? You can use it to make a mini snowman and to create a snow scene for your toys. Ask an adult to help you.

Materials for snow

3 cups baking soda (approximately)

½ cup white hair conditioner (approximately)

Silver glitter (optional)

Materials for snowman

2 small twigs

1 cocktail stick

Orange marker

2 tiny pebbles

Ribbon or strip of material

Directions for snow

First, cover your table with newspaper.

Measure the baking soda into a large bowl.

Carefully add the hair conditioner.

Knead the mixture with your hands gathering it together and squeezing it with your fingers. The aim is to have fluffy snow that will hold together when you squeeze a ball in your hands.

If the mixture is too sticky and damp, you need to add more baking soda.

If the mixture is too stiff, you can loosen it up by gradually adding more hair conditioner.

When you are happy with the texture of the snow, pour it onto a large pan; and if you like, you can sprinkle glitter on top – it’s ready to play with.

For the snowman

Using your hands, make a ball of snow for the body.

Roll a smaller ball and stick it on top of the body for the head.

Make arms out of a couple of twigs.

Make the nose from the pointy end of a cocktail stick, painted orange.

Use tiny pebbles to form the snowman’s eyes.

Tie a ribbon or piece of material around his neck for the scarf.
