Snow Paint

In January, most primary classrooms are delving into winter themes and snow seems to be right in the mix. After reading several snow themed books, like The Snowy Day or Snowmen at Night, I like to have my kids paint a snow scene. A puffy snow paint can be made using equal parts of shaving cream and white glue. Make sure you use regular shaving cream, don’t use anything with a scent or your room will smell like shaving cream.

Here are a few close-ups of mixing the paint;

Once you’ve made the mixture, give kids paintbrushes or sponge applicator brushes to dab the snow onto their paper. Make sure they aren’t’ spreading the paint around. It needs to be dabbed on in order for it to really look like snow; the more the better.

The papers will become very wet. Leave the paintings lying flat overnight to dry. Once they are dry, you can add other embellishments such as snowmen or Peter, from the Snowy Day.

The finished product ready for embellishments!
