Whimsical Rainbow Snowman


Whimsical Rainbow Snowman
There must have been some magic...
Our children are surrounded by the amazing world of technology! But there is still room in their world for the little magic through creative play and imagination.  This modernized snowman was created by rolling three classic snowballs then taking three separate water bottles filled with "neon food coloring" and coloring each one separately then assembling them together as a snowman.

We named him Snow Cone :) I have experimented with all kinds of colors and find that the McCormack neon food coloring that you find in the baking isle of the grocery store works the best!


We always build a snowman right outside our breakfast window in all three of our flower planters :) its fun to add color to a winters day.

Snow Graffiti Prints

Add some magic to your snow day with these magical snow prints! Its simple, fun, and whimsical.  Just create a template from cardboard. I would recommend using a cereal box :)   I used a hobby knife to cut my designs. For quick designs you could use your cookie cutters as templates too. After you've cut out your designs just set them in the snow and spray with  colored water and let the magic unfold. 

Bring some magic to your snowday with these amazing snow prints!

Cut out a template from cardboard using a hobby knife.  Paper will roll when the spray bottle is added so it needs to be a heavy weight to withhold all the moisture.

Here is my field of snow covered Shamrocks!

Even my toddler was able to make the snow prints with ease.

Sure to bring a smile and magic to any ones snow day!

We were successful with all shapes and color combos!

Twinkle, Twinkle Little Stars...very magical just the way you are :)

The neighborhood loves this craft idea too and everyone was coloring snow before long.

He played with his snow prints for about 30 minutes

Look of pure joy to see his snow print!

My neighborhood peeps even created snow graffiti! Such an amazing morning!
