Snow!

This Christmas season I was missing the cold and wishing the girls could have some snow to play with on Christmas. I ended up finding a jar of fake snow on Amazon for just over ten dollars.

This stuff is pretty awesome! When this powder is combined with water turns into some fluffy and slightly wet mixture that really does resemble snow. I hoped it would be a fun sensory activity for the girls Christmas morning, and was happy they loved it so much and spent half the day playing with it! The snow lasted for a couple more days and then started to shrink and lose its consistency. I decided to bring the remaining snow along to an orphanage I was visiting to deliver some stockings filled with goodies and artwork from my aunt Kathy and her second grade class. I thought the kids would enjoy feeling the snow, and imagined them playing with it in a similar manner as Addy and Torah. I was surprised, but delighted with the kid's reaction. You can see what I'm talking about in the short video clip below.
