Snow Day Fun!

 Snow Ice Cream Recipe:

* 5-6 cups of clean snow

*1 cup of milk or 1 cup of condensed milk

*1/2 cup of sugar

*1 tsp of vanilla

Put 3 cups of snow in a large bowl, put in milk, sugar, and vanilla, and mix with a wooden spoon. Add 2-3 more cups of snow and mix.  Enjoy

Other fun snow day activities:

1. Identify tracks in the snow (use i Track Wildlife phone app to identify tracks you find)

2. Create Snow Poetry (visit: https://www.poetry4kids.com/lessons/poetry-writing-lessons/)

3.  Balloon Gas Experiment:

This simple balloon experiment is a fun way to show kids how elements react to different temperatures — and the colder the weather, the better. Start by inflating a balloon inside and tieing up the end. Then place the balloon outside and observe as it deflates. (Or put the balloon by a window so kids can watch from inside.) Then bring the balloon back inside and watch as it re-inflates. If the temperature is getting warmer or colder throughout the day, have kids time how long it takes for the balloon to deflate at different temperatures. This experiment gives you a chance to talk with kids about how gases expand and contract.
