Supplies/what you need:

*blue glitter

 

*peppermint extract or Young Living Peppermint Essential Oil 5 ml

 

*baking soda

 

*water

I also made a batch with Eucalyptus 100% Pure Therapeutic Grade Essential Oil- 10 ml.  Both scents work great. This can also be beneficial for kids with head colds.  The scents help clear the nose while playing.

How to make sensory snow:

I took a large bowl (one I bought at target a few years ago) and dumped one box of baking soda in to it.  I took blue glitter and sprinkled it in.  I added a few Tablespoons of water at a time until it was sticking together.  You do not want to add too much water.  Just enough to hold the powder together.  If you do add to much water, add more baking powder.

    I wish we had fun stuff like this when I was a kid! I think my girls will still enjoy it – even if they are ages 9, 12 and 15! Awesome.

    I love this! We’re hoping for some snow next week, but I find that my kids spend more time getting READY to play in the snow than they actually do in the snow. Last year we brought the snow inside, but this year I think we’ll try this for some “snowy” fun without the cold! Thanks for sharing!
