BIg & Little Art: Snow Painting

snowpaint

I remember doing this when I was little to decorate my snow people.

Supplies:

  • Clean spray bottles filled with water
  • Food coloring *I recommend primary colors so a little color science (ie: red+yellow=orange) can be a part of your play.
  • SNOW!
  • Stencils, shapes are also nice to have

Cute! You're teaching your children how to be taggers at a young age! Good idea:) Wait. Does this mean you got snow in seattle?

Crystal said...

Yes: I'm teaching vandalism 101 on Fridays.

And yes: We got lots of glorious, beautiful snow!

I love it!! Now, I know they say don't eat yellow snow but what about red and blue??? LOL

Pretty! And congrats on finding 3 empty spray bottles. That's the part that will slow me down...

Fun! I fear more then the snow will be sprayed by my bunnies! We will have to try this.

Crystal said...

Yes, try it!
I checked on my hearts about a day later and the water had melted the snow enough to reconstruct them into icy shapes.
The powdery snow surrounding the hearts had been blown away by gusty winds and the shapes had nice crisp edges...so I guess in the right conditions this is a way to make fragile snow sculptures.

I am with Apryl on needing to find some empty spray bottles. I love this idea and hope the snow only melts on the road and my drive-way so I can get to some spray bottles.
Merry Christmas to you too.
