Homemade Sensory Snow Activity

DIY Sensory Snow is a fun way to have a snow day any time of the year! Homemade play snow is easy to make with a few simple ingredients and encourages hours of sensory play time. Bright out your DIY play snow on scorching summer days for some snowman-inspired fun. We made snow cupcakes and a snowman and had lots of fun sculpting our homemade snow into fluffy white balls.

To make homemade sensory snow, mix 3 boxes of baking soda with a cup of white conditioner and as much glitter as you want. This will create a dough-like consistency that holds together but also melts apart with handling. Let y
our child help mix the snow together for a hands-on kids’ activity. My daughter loves measuring out ingredients and helping in the kitchen whenever possible. She was excited to help make the homemade sensory snow we were creating just for her!

DIY Snow Instructions

• Mix 3 boxes of baking soda with a cup of white conditioner.

My daughter had a lot of fun scooping and molding our DIY Snow made with baking soda and conditioner. She made cupcakes and a snowman decorated with beads, hairbands, and a re-purposed bottle cap for a hat.
