The first snow fall is always the best. Everything seems quiet, you're ready to drink your cocoa, curl up next to the fire place and enjoy winter. Then day two comes. The kids are restless, they have run circles in the once beautiful snowy landscape, your carpet is wet from them coming in and out and their bored.
Time to pull out the snow paints. It's best if you have stocked up before hand on empty spray bottles, but in a bind old cleaning bottles will work provided you wash them out thoroughly. Fill the spray bottle half way with water, add several drops of the food coloring of your choice. Fill the bottle the rest of the way with water and shake. Bundle up the kids again and send them on their way to turn your snowy white canvas into a work of art.
The wonderful thing about this activity, besides how cheap it is, is the easy clean up. Just wait for the weather man to tell you when it will snow again and they can have another clean canvas to create their masterpieces.

I love this idea. I can't wait for it to snow
(hopefully we will get some) so I can have the grandkids over and have a really fun time. I can't believe I have never heard of this.
Great idea for the grandkids....and thanks for the idea from grandma
What a creative idea and for little prep time or money. I'm sure it will be a hit for my grandkids!
