How to make fake snow
This is such a fun DIY for kids and the entire family. Once you learn how to make fake snow, you will see how simple it is.
My kids absolutely loved this fun DIY. They played with it for at least an hour.
We added some animals and had so much fun playing in the snow. They are really into dinosaurs so that is mostly what we had at the house.
There was a lot of talk about Dinosaurs in the snow after this. It was a ton of fun!
Let’s get started and make diy snow!
This is so fun and just incredibly simple. I mean really really simple!
You know we love to keep things simple around here. I am a firm believer that it does not have to cost a fortune or take a ton of time to make things that are fun for our families. This is a great example of an easy and cheap DIY to try!
Ingredients for homemade snow:
- 1-1/2 cups cornstarch
- 1/2 cup hair conditioner
- glitter (optional)
- various small plastic toys to play in the snow. You probably already have this around the house.
This is a really simple DIY and you most likely have all that you need already at home. It is so easy and fun to make!
How to make fake snow for crafts:
Add cornstarch and conditioner to a mixing bowl and mix well. You want your mixture to hold together so you can shape and form it, but not be too wet.
Place onto a plate or into a shallow dish to play in. You can sprinkle with glitter if you would like to but that is optional. Add animals and toys and play in the snow!
Now that you know how to make snow in minutes, give it a try today!
How do you store diy fake snow?
Store in an airtight container. If mixture begins to dry out, add additional conditioner. Easy!
Note- One box of cornstarch is 16 oz and we used half a box. I weighed out 8 ounces to get the measurement of 1.5 cups. If you use the whole box, just double the conditioner.
Does fake snow melt?
This does not melt but it it can dry out. Make sure you store it in an airtight container.
If the DIY Snow dries out, add more conditioner to the mixture. You can then play as normal with the snow.
It is hard to believe that just 2 simple ingredients you have at home can make such a fun activity for kids to play with. You don’t need much time or money to make this.
I have made this in a pinch and just shopped my house. Since it is such basic ingredients, it is easy to just make this on the spur of the moment using what you already have at home.
If the kids are bored, try making this because you probably are like us and already have all that you need to do so!
