1. Prepare the materials we need:

2. Cut a napkin 6 cm wide.

3. Cut the foil 2-3 cm wide.

4. Fold the napkin in half, put foil into it.

5. We fold the resulting strip several times and start cutting, leaving the base intact.

We need about 15-20 pieces of such blanks (depending on the size of the branch).

6. Having smeared the tip of the “tape” with glue, we begin to wrap our branch, starting from the ends.

7. When the next ribbon ends, its second end must also be greased with glue and fixed, then take a new ribbon and continue working.

Making your own snow colors

Can you paint with snow? Certainly. But first you need to prepare snow paints. That is what we are going to do with you now. We have been preparing for this task in advance. In the evening they put shaving foam in the refrigerator, and in the morning they sent glue there (for 10 minutes). When everything was ready, they began to experiment.

Little advice: you can reward the dough with a pleasant coolness and special softness if you cool the ingredients before mixing. Want to keep the dough longer? Place it in a tightly sealed bag and refrigerate. If the dough becomes dry, mix it with your hands moistened with lotion.

Liquid snow - cooking at home with your child

I remind you that today we are making snow at home, together with the children. And therefore, most of the ingredients, before starting the experiment, need to be cooled or frozen. So, we take out starch from the freezer and little by little, add to it ice water until a not too liquid consistency is obtained.

Friends, if you have never made non-Newtonian fluids before, you are in for a magical surprise. Be vigilant, with active interaction, the mass becomes not only harder, but more viscous, and spreads at rest.

But that is not all. We have prepared for you the most complete selection of snow recipes that you can cook with your child at home.

What progress has come to, science is striding across the planet with leaps and bounds, and now, today, we will tell you how to make snow from a diaper at home. Well, the components of this recipe are also simple:

baby diaper,
water,
fridge,
great mood (by the way, this is a mandatory ingredient in all recipes).

Parents and teachers go to great lengths to bring joy, pleasure to the child and ignite a spark of interest in science. We all know that science is fun. The main thing is to find the right angle from which to show the child all the beauties of what awaits him tomorrow.

Today I suggest you gut a baby diaper and extract sodium polyacrylate from it. Important note! Transfer the whole mass into a deep cup and gradually, in small portions, pour water - continuously! Violation of technology and the snow will turn out to be too wet. Now it's time to add realism to our project, let's send the resulting snow to the refrigerator.

Do you like the idea of powdering the whole house before a magical holiday? Prepare some PVA glue and grease the surface you plan to decorate with a liquid solution. And now proceed to the process of making snow. Working with gloves will especially appeal to children and can be an amazing experience. It is necessary to grind polyethylene or polystyrene on a grater. As a basis, you can use packaging material for equipment, shoe inserts or foam. Add glitter to this airy mixture and enjoy the process of decorating.

We make decor, prepare frost from salt

Continuing the theme of decoration, I propose to make frost. To do this, you need to prepare the base - concentrated saline. We take a pan, pour a small amount of water into it and put it on low heat. Add salt to the pan until it no longer dissolves. We dip the branches of spruce, pine or any other plant in a hot solution and leave for a while. And now the science begins to work. The process of crystal formation starts, which goes much faster in warm water! We let the water drain and leave the plants to dry for 4-5 hours. That's all, you get frost-covered branches. Further decor is up to you. Send photos of your work in the comments to this article. What innovation can you make to the recipe?

Artificial snow for the "snowball"

The glass ball is a fascinating children's toy. In such a ball, you can add ordinary sparkles. But then the experiment will fail. Therefore, we take a white paraffin candle, rub it on a fine grater. Everything, the snow is ready. And to create a "snowball" we need a ball, water, glycerin and artificial snow flakes. You can add shimmery accents with the help of sparkles. We close the container hermetically and when shaking, the snow falls smoothly to the bottom.

PVA snow and starch

We take and carefully mix the initial components together:

2 tablespoons starch,
2 tablespoons PVA
2 tablespoons silver paint

Congratulations! You just got great snow for voluminous decoration of any craft for kindergarten or interior decoration.

If you want to powder specific objects with such a snowball, grease the surface with liquid PVA glue. Toddlers like to crush the foam with their hands, watch how it sticks to their fingers. Do not deprive them of this joy, especially since such an activity remarkably develops fine motor skills. If the foam consists of large solid balls, it is not necessary to rub it on a grater, you can manually break it into small crumbs.

Recipe #2

Ingredients:
- the remains of dried polymer clay (plastic).

Needlewomen often have the remains of polymer clay, which is a pity to throw away.

Dissolve 50 g of magnesia or urea in 1/2 cup of light beer and apply to glass. You can use a brush, sponge or cotton swab. When applied, mimic frosty "feathers" and swirls. When the liquid begins to dry out, crystals will begin to appear on the glass, similar to real frost patterns. You can use a hair dryer to speed up the drying of the glass. This solution is easily washed off window panes. You can decorate glass very beautifully in interior doors or on the platform in the entrance.

Recipe #14

Ingredients:
- PVA glue;
- powdered sugar.

In order to write congratulations or draw pictures on glass, you can use ordinary glue and powdered sugar. Apply the design with a brush or stencil and dust with powder. The only negative is that the pattern can “float” if condensation accumulates on the glass. Having decorated the glass with frosty stains, do not forget about the window sill.

Recipe #15

Ingredients:
- water;
- sodium hyposulfite.

Don't let sodium hyposulfite scare you, you can find it in photography stores or chemical supply stores. It is also called sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate (this is a photographic fixer). Dissolve 30–40 g of sodium hyposulfite in half a glass of water and apply the mixture to the glass. Wait for it to dry. The crystals are dense, white, opaque.

Which of the recipes to use - decide for yourself. It all depends on what you need snow for, what effect you want to achieve. Sometimes it’s enough just to scatter (or stick) pieces of padding polyester, cotton pads, paper confetti. Sometimes you need a texture paste or fluffy small granules. Nobody canceled the old proven way of painting on glass with white gouache and toothpaste. In fact, there are a lot of options to create a truly winter mood! Do not wait for "manna from heaven", create a "snowy" mood for yourself right now!
