We Had Fun with Snow Painting – Indoors!

Of course, you could easily do some snow painting outside. But my son (2.5yrs) is *very* reluctant to go outside at the moment, and shows no interest in actually touching the snow. It’s a bit of a shame really, so I decided to bring the snow to him.

I asked my husband to fill a container with snow and like a true bloggers’ husband, he treated this as a perfectly normal request. The snow was lovely and soft as it had only just fallen.

I filled three small squirt bottles with a few drops of food dye and some water. F got on with painting the snow!

It looks SO pretty!  After F had added all the paint, he asked for a spoon to stir it all around.

While he did that I made a multi-color snowball!!

The snow got nice and mixed up!

Just when I thought F had had enough, he ran off to get two of his construction vehicles. He scooped the snow and placed it into the dump truck. At this point he really couldn’t avoid touching it, remarking (somewhat unsurprisingly) that it was cold! The snow got darker and darker as the color intensified. We also made towers.

I’m glad I had this opportunity to get him a little bit more familiar with snow; I am sure that it will have really helped. Plus we had a great sensory experience during our snow painting, too!

    I can’t wait for us to have snow to try this out. We’ve done snow painting and also brought the snow inside but I’ve never combined the two.

    Thank you for linking this up to Tuesday Tots just letting you know that I will be featuring this over on Rainy Day Mum this week.

    Krissy,
    How fun! I have never seen “snow painting before”! I normally am not a big fan of snow and ice and cold weather, but if we have to have snow, then this is something playful you can do with it at least. Thanks for the great post and idea!

    that looks brilliant. Sadly, here in the south of the uk, all we have his wind and rain and mostly we want that to stay outside. Snow would be a pleasant change. Our chickens have a pond and must wonder if we muddled them with ducks! Lol. xx
