I’ve never seen Arlo have quite as much fun as we did today. We’ve been lucky enough to have lots of snow recently and last night it was coming down thick and fast so I decided to put together this activity for the morning.
You will need:
- Water based poster paint
- Water
- Condiment bottles
All you need to do is add a small amount of paint in to a bottle and fill it up with water. Shake them well and then let loose on the snow.
The spray bottles lasted a lot longer than the squeezey bottles which I topped up a couple of times. We started off tentatively with the primary colours – testing out mixing the sprays to make new colours and trying to be a bit educational – also utilising those hand muscles too.
Then we went crazy with the spray bottles – flinging the paint around and making rainbow colours in the snow – Arlo enjoyed making circles by spinning around.
We invented a new game by address my colours to snow balls and then throwing them to make some really cool splats on the garden shed.
We built a snowman together in the garden and he got his own technicolour coat to match Arlo’s – here’s a short video which shows how our morning went:
