Snow Painting
Snow painting in a bin is a fun, hands-on way for kids to explore art and science—right at the
kitchen table.
What You’ll Need
- A large bin or tray
- Fresh, clean snow
- Paint brushes, droppers, or spray bottles
- Watered-down paint or food colouring
Set-Up & Play
- Scoop snow into the bin and place it on a towel to catch drips.
- Mix your “paints” using water and food colouring or diluted paint.
- Make a few colours!
Let creativity flow!
- Encourage experimenting – what happens when we mix colours?
- Paint, drip, or spray the snow
- Mix colours, swirl with brushes or spoons
- Use a small jug of warm water and encourage them to gently pour on the snow and paint. What happens?
What a fun and creative way to bring the magic of snow fun indoors.
