Snow Painting!

Life on the Prairies is never dull.  We went through a couple of weeks with -40 weather (sometimes including the windchill, sometimes not!!), and the kiddos were going NUTS being stuck in the house!!  I saw this idea on Pinterest from Really Quite Lucky, and as soon as the weather got nice, we just HAD to go out and try it!!


Supplies Needed
Water
Food Coloring
Squirty Bottles
SNOW!!



This project is really self-explanatory.  Mix water and food coloring in a squirty bottle (I used a ketchup/mustard bottle combo that I got for $1.25 at the dollar store!).  I think we used 4 good sized squirts of color per bottle.  Then shake them up and go explore!  We made sure to just do this on the snow and not on the patio, though, as we used a fairly big concentration of food coloring and I wasn't sure if it would stain!!


Exploring the colors




At one point, Jellybean just sat in the Cozy Coupe and squirted her bottle out the window to see what would happen :)

Baby J was just in awe!  He couldn't figure out where all of the pretty colors were coming from!!


HAVE FUN!!
