we tried this: indoor snowman

The weather took a dip this week. It is FREEEZING here. To put it mildly, I am NOT a fan. It is especially hard with a toddler since the ever so important option of getting outside is not longer that pleasant.

Yesterday afternoon at a loss for things to do, I spotted this fun project on Modern Moms, Messy Kids. It is a simple project which entails mixing up shaving cream and corn starch to make a fluffy, white mix for sculpting snowmen.

As her blog title clearly states, it is a messy endeavor. I am still vacuuming bits of cornstarch from corners living room. BUT, Rowan and I had a blast. Rowan had fun shoveling the snow. I have him two boxes and a shovel, and he scooped and tossed the snow from one box to the other (reason for corn starch everywhere). We made a good team too.  I would slowly and seriously sculpt a snowman to perfection, then Rowan would enthusiastically demolish each and every one. Good times.

If you have a good working vacuum cleaner and don’t mind getting a little snowman dust in your house, then this is the project for you. Check it out here.
