Snow Painting

Snow is usually pretty novel for the first day or two, but for those who live places where you see more white than green or brown, even the most snow-crazy kid may get some frosty fatigue. Renew their outdoor enthusiasm by letting their outside artistry shine.

Purchase a few condiment bottles (these can also be used to make edible decorations on pancakes, etc) or a use a clean, empty spray bottle. You can really use any container with a squirt top such as a water bottle. Add food coloring to water until desired color is achieved. Send the kids outside to do temporary graffiti, practice their letters, or "paint" pictures in the snow. They will love seeing the colors bloom against the snowy white backdrop.
