DIY Snow Paint – Outdoor Winter Activity For Families

DIY Snow Paint – Outdoor Winter Activity For Families

Just like most of the country – we were snowed in this weekend.

This isn’t a new thing for Cheyenne or Wyoming, but it’s still depressing to say the least. Especially since it happens every other week and sometimes we just want to get out….

So to change things up and get us out of the house for a short period of time, I decided to do an easy craft with my two favorite men.

Insert – HOMEMADE Snow Paint!

You basically make colored water, place it in some inexpensive squirt bottles and paint the snow. That’s it! No real rules or perfect end results! If your child can hold a bottle and squirt it on the ground, they can participate!

So to go with the theme of “keeping it simple” this year – this painting the snow activity only took three supplies and 5 minutes to put together. On that note, it won’t break the bank or take you hours to assemble. PLUS no clean up afterwards since nature will take course in a copy of days ;)

If you would like to recreate this crafty idea, find all the details below for this DIY Snow Paint activity and recreate it for your family today! Then come share pictures on our Facebook page so we can see how much fun you had!

Happy crafting, my friends! #gluedtomycrafts

As you see in the above pictures, Lil Man had a blast. {Daddy had too much fun with the yellow paint} Then once we were done, we took our cold bodies inside to get warm. It really doesn’t get any easier than that!
