Playlearn Snow, White

Product Information

Although the shaving cream and corn starch snow did not quite win the coldness contest or clean-up test, it came as a close runner up in both areas.

The corn starch and shaving cream (method 1) is a very close runner up in the coldness test, but it did not seem to stay cold for as long. I really like how easy the baking soda and conditioner snow is to pack into a perfect snowball and makes it super easy for the kids to play and build a snowman! Cold Test: Feels nice and cool to the touch but it is certainly not the coldest of our three methods of snow. Mix your water into your baking soda mixture and freeze for 15 min for an icy sensory dough that feels like snow! Clean-up Test: Since this is made of only baking soda and water, the clean-up process is very easy to wipe off when you are done playing in your snow.When polymer granules absorb water, they significantly increase in volume and become visually similar to snowflakes. Simply boil the water, go outside,brave the frigid temperatures, and toss a cup or pot of boiling water into the air. There are a number of common household items you can use as your wet ingredient, so just use whatever’s handy or make a test batch of each recipe to find your favorite. Enjoy the crisp and refreshing look of a snowy winter afternoon at any time of the year when you purchase the innovative instant snow product SNOW TO GO! With less water, the granules would still swell but not as much, and the overall effect wouldn’t be as noticeable.

This is the same reaction that occurs in any baking soda and vinegar experiment, but you can use this to make it look like your snowman is melting in the sunshine. I wanted to make it a package-able, Instant Snow that didn’t require adding any shaving cream, hair conditioner, or other medium that parents might not have on hand. You'll most likely find me in the great outdoors, checking the weather or exploring the fascinating world of science.If you choose another source for the chemical that isn't intended for human skin contact, the resulting snow could be itchy. You can add more or less shaving cream to corn starch ratio depending on the texture of snow you want. Texture Test: Depending on how much water you add, this salt and water snow actually makes for a great powdery texture for snow if you use very little water. Add about half of a 10 ounce can of shaving cream and mix the corn starch and shaving cream together (use a spoon to do the initial mixing if you don’t want messy hands).
