Making snow

Making Snow

Sensory play encourages children to manipulate and mold materials, building up their fine motor skills and coordination. Self-esteem: sensory play offers kids the opportunity for self-expression because there is no right answer and children feel safe to change or experiment with what they are doing.

Making Fluffy Snow using soap flakes is a fun and messy sensory play activity.

It is a great way to incorporate a bit of a Christmas theme during the summer

Children will enjoy finding fun ways to explore the fluffy snow mixture; squishing, feeling and playing with it.

You will need:

1 cup of Soap Flakes
3 cups warm water,
Large mixing bowl
Large container or tray
Electric beater.

Beat the water and soap flakes the mixture multiples,

The children love to watch the change of the clear watery liquid mixture to a thick white blob.

We sprinkled the fluffy snow around the garden to create a winter wonderland. It is so easy to clean up with a hose as it just dissolves and washes away.

Have fun with this activity and we recommend adult supervision at all times.
