Make Snow - Favorite Friday

Each Friday I am sharing a post from another blog that inspired me to try something new with Miss E.  This Friday's Favorite is from The Chocolate Muffin Tree.  She made snow at home and compared it to real snow.  We don't have any real snow to make comparisons, but I was instantly intrigued at the idea of making snow at home since our chances for snow are slim in Central Texas.  


All you need is a ice and a blender that grinds ice.  Fill the blender only 1/4 to 1/3 full with ice and grind until it looks like snow.  If you fill the blender too full, the process is more frustrating and slow.  I bought a bag of ice, and I used about half the bag of ice to make snow.  You can use ice from home too.  


We took the snow out in a pitcher to the backyard.  Miss E shoveled the snow out of the pitcher into a tray.  




She delighted in the nip of the cold from the snow.  



Her toy animals frolicked in the snow.   



And there was still fun to be had when the snow turned to slush. 




If you want to be a superhero for a day, surprise your kids with your amazing powers by making snow.
