Guess what? We are on a snow science experiments kick! Guess why? We still (still) have a ton (ton) of SNOW! And with Valentine’s Day behind us and Easter a long ways off, we need to find something fun to do to fill our days. Our snowy, snowy days. So snow science experiments for kids…
Oodles of ways to make Snowflakes with Kids
Winter has officially arrived! This year we actually watched the very first snowflakes fall from the sky. While it is no secret that I am not a huge fan of winter, there is something undeniably beautiful and magical about those snowflakes. It made me think about snowflake art — warm and cozy next to the…
15 Fun Things to do in the Snow!
I love the winter – but I haven’t always. Truthfully, I use to really dislike it. REALLY. But, I love the outdoors and I love having my kids outside. And where I live we have snow for a good 5 months of the year, which is a very long time to dislike something. So a…

Eye Dropper Snow Painting for Kids
