With winter snow days and everyone underfoot, sometimes it makes for a stressful day (or week)....but we managed to have some FUN! I saw alot of posts on the internet of people trying this and burning themselves...which to me speaks to a lack of attention to detail and not thinking things through.
a good plan is always a great idea even when it involves fun!
My husband found this particular project and we tried it. IT WORKS! and brings lots of laughter too.
We took a small cup of water and put it in the microwave....heated it up to just short of boiling...about 2 minutes for 8oz.
Then, dressed warmly and all spaced out for viewing but not placed where the wind would blow the hot water back onto the participants....Dad throws the water up in the air (out and away from himself and the onlookers)..... What do you think comes down???
SNOW!
Our own homemade SNOW!! the temperatures have to be cold of course and this was done during our nice little freeze spell when the kids were out on snow days. there was snow already covering the ground and I think temperatures were at about 27 degrees that day.....give or take.... but the fun we had repeating this about three more times just to make sure we really were seeing what we thought we were seeing.... It was AMAZING!
Now, go amaze your kids with some fun home-made snow when it gets too cold to be outside for long. :)
It is a memory worth the making :) and enjoying!
