Picked this idea up whilst trawling. Obviously can't do any pictures yet as we don't have snow but I am sure it wont be long!!
Activity ~ Fun in the Snow
Materials
Empty clean squeeze bottle from household cleaners (with the trigger handle) or a plant mister
Package of food coloring
Water
SNOW
Preparation
Plan for between one to three colours. You will need one bottle for each colour.
Idea(s)
Squeeze some drops of food coloring into one of the squeeze bottles.
Food colours can be combined to make other colours.
Start with 15 or so drops.
Test to see the strength of color by filling 1/3 of the bottle with water and shake. Add more coloring is necessary.
Repeat this process for each colour you have planned.
Find a good clear spot of snow outside
Make sure the wind is in the right direction so you spray gets on to you or your clothes. Align yourself carefully.
Show them how to work the spray bottle and control the flow, if available.
Use the snow like a huge sheet of paper.
Encourage them to move around and make a big outdoor painting rather than staying in one place.
Good for: creativity, gross motor activity
