Create a snow scene with ingredients from the kitchen.

What You Need

• Piece of dark poster board or construction paper
• Crayons
• Ice cube
• Mittens (optional)
• Newspaper
• Salt shaker full of salt
• Scissors

What You Do

1. Prepare Tabletop
   First, prepare your tabletop by covering it with newspaper. Choose a dark piece of paper to work with (poster board or construction paper).
2. Rub Ice on Paper
   Give your child an ice cube to rub all over the paper. He/she may want to put on mittens for this step.
3. Shake Salt on Paper
   Next, give your child a salt shaker full of salt (large grained salt shows up better) and let him/her shake it over the wet paper. The salt should melt and stick to the paper.
4. Decorate Paper
   Be creative! Cut your paper into different shapes and/or decorate with crayons before you get it wet.
