Instead of playing outside in our brief white winter wonderland where it has already starting to rain instead of snow, we brought the snow inside to us, where it was much warmer. The kids had a great time making mini snowmen out of the snow that filled the water table. Next they explored what would happen if you tried to paint snow! We added spoons, potato mashers, pancake flippers and measuring cups to the play. It was a great way to explore snow without all the extra clothing and wet cold! We also did a science experiment by bringing inside a snowball to see how long it would take for it to melt. Even I was surprised to see that it took more than 4 hours for it to melt into a bowl full of water!
