If you're looking for fun activities in the snow beyond the usual snow angels, snowmen, and sledding, check out these exciting alternatives to enjoy the winter wonderland!
Turn water into jewels
These ice gems were a hit and so simple to make! All I needed were ice cube trays (you could also use a cupcake pan for bigger 'gems.'), water, and food coloring! I let our 'gems' freeze overnight and then popped them out in the snow to play with. If it's cold enough where you live, simply leave your 'gems' out overnight to freeze! These gems make excellent decorations for snow sculptures and snowpeople. It's also fun to have a treasure hunt — hide the gems around your yard and let the kids find them!

Give that snow color
Squirt bottles are easy to find at discount stores, and completely reusable! Fill them with water, add food coloring, and they are ready! Kids can write their names in the snow, draw pictures, or decorate their snowman.

Make Snow Ice Cream!
Yes really! The blog Gimme Some Oven offers a simple snow ice cream recipe. We tried it and it's amazing!
What you need:
- 8 cups clean snow
- 1 cup milk (any kind)
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt - this is optional
Directions: In a large bowl mix together milk sugar, vanilla, and salt until combined. Mix in snow until you reach the desired consistency. Top with sprinkles or other toppings!
Eat immediately as it will melt very quickly!
Snow play!
A great activity for the little ones! All you need is a bowl filled with snow and some toys. You can also put down a towel or a plastic tablecloth to keep mess at a minimum. I have even used my water table in the kitchen filled with snow and let them play and have fun while staying warm. Gloves are a good idea for this activity!
