Today, we made snow! Sadly, 1DGS2 did not want to touch it until 4DD21 got involved. He still didn't touch much but he *did* touch!
First, I used this recipe from Two Sisters Crafting - minus the glitter :) If I could have I would have experimented with a tad bit more shaving cream. So, in the future I will probably use less cornstarch to start and work it until I find that consistency I really like.
1DGS2 does not like getting messy - at all. He touched the cornstarch when I asked him to but he did not like it much and wiped it off lol
Next, the shaving cream scared him! Not really bad - he just did not like the sound the can makes :(
Forget helping mix it! But that was okay, as I knew it was going to be messy!
Once it was mixed he still wouldn't touch it. So I made a snowman out of it and his Auntie finally got him to smash the snowman!! Over, and over, and over, and over lol
Next, I took the snow out of the bowl and had it covering the table. I tamped it down some so it would show footprints ... dino footprints, that is! Now he loved that! He liked seeing the different tracks each one made and would actually move them around making prints. It was cute :) When one of them face planted in the snow and got some on its front paws he had to make them all cover their mouths and paws! We pretended they were having a snowball fight like the big boys in the book.
After he was all finished playing with the snow, I bagged it up in a gallon Baggie and put it in the freezer. I'm going to experiment with this a bit and find out how long it stays good for and if it is shippable ;-)
Overall, I will call this a success!
