painting on snow



this is a project we enjoy in the winter months. it is especially fun when it is too cold or windy or mama is just not up for the snowsuit challenge. the preparation and clean-up are about as easy as it gets.
step 1: get a big bowl
step 2: scoop it full of snow, any kind of snow, dirty, clean, fluffy, icy
step 3: get out the watercolors!
step 4: go nuts with the watercolors on the snow
step 5: dump the colorful snow in the sink or outside, your choice.
done!
this always ends up being really fun and creative. little bee makes the pile of snow into a whole little world all her own. it is particularly fun when there are different textures like icy chunks and that nice ice layer that coats the top of the snow. fun!
