Today is another snow day here in Eastern PA. While we all wish winter would come to a quicker end, instead of despair I am trying to enjoy this snow day and find fun things to do with my son!
Last time we had a big snow day we had some fun doing snow painting! Snow painting is so easy to set up and a great way to get outside and play in the snow! All you need are various bottles- squirt bottles, spray bottles, even empty shampoo bottles would work! Fill with water and food coloring and shake a little to mix the color in with the water.
Easy as that, you have some “snow paint!” We set up our painting canvas at the table on back deck because I thought it would be better to stand on a clean chair rather than in a pile of snow!
Carter had a blast squirting and spraying the paint to make his masterpiece!
He also asked me to paint something and requested a train. I’m no artist, but it’s close enough!
Have you tried snow painting? What’s your favorite snow day activity?

My friend in Philly was just moaning yesterday. Her kids (9-15) were pushing her buttons big time. I suggested snow shoveling, but snow painting looks much more enjoyable.
