Make Your Own Snow!

One of my favorite things when I was a kid was playing in the snow. I grew up in Tennessee so that didn't happen too often. Now the problem is solved. In college I went to a science conference and came across Insta-Snow. I thought it was the coolest thing ever so I had to get some. All you have to do to make your own snow is mix a small amount of this powder with some water and it turns to snow! It is so awesome, and the kids love it. Every year around Christmas I show the kids how to make their own snow. Each year as part of their present they each get their own powder with directions so they can go home and make their own snow for their family. It has been a big hit. I even have students after leaving my class write about it as being their favorite memory of school. It's amazing how something so simple can have such an impression. If you have done this with your kiddos tell me about it in the comments. If not, you can follow the link below to get your own.
