If you are stuck inside on a cold day, we have a simple winter craft that your little artist will love! Ms. Dana introduced us to this fun activity during a program last week, and it was quite a hit. The children had a fabulous time creating glittery snowmen using a simple, 3 ingredient snow paint recipe.
What you need:
- 1/2 cup Elmer’s Glue
- 1/2 cup shaving cream
- 1 Tablespoon glitter
What to do:
Mix the glue and shaving cream together. Lastly, add glitter to the mixture and let the fun begin!
*Please note* This recipe is easy to adapt to different themes or holidays. You could add red food coloring and create sparkly hearts for a Valentine’s Day activity.
Don’t forget to check out some lovely winter themed books to enjoy while your masterpiece is drying. Here are a few of our wintry favorites:
