Last week it was too cold to play in the snow so we decided to bring the snow inside! (I would recommend having a waterproof tablecloth, shower curtain, or even a towel for the duration of this activity ;) )
First we droppered food coloring into the snow.
Then we dropped pieces of the colored snow all over some paper.
Then we watched it melt. I posed questions to Brother, asking him why the snow is melting, what is happening as it melts, and whether bigger or smaller piles melt faster. But mostly he was just interested in creating a huge pile of snow!
Finished product!
While we were waiting for the painting to dry we brought in some fresh snow and made a miniature snowman.
First, assemble random bits and pieces:
Second, taste the snow!
Third, assemble snowman:
Meet our late friend, Clyde (he has long since moved on, a.k.a. melted)
Any of our readers have any snow around? Ours is gone now; I'm hoping for one more snow so we can take the boys sledding!
