How to make fun and sparkly snow paint
When it’s cold outside and you need to keep little ones entertained, this sparkly snow paint will come to the rescue! It not only will keep children busy, but it’s also super easy to make.
It’s always a challenge to find fun activities for kids that you can make with supplies you already have at home. That’s why I am so happy to share this glittery paint recipe with you. It’s also a great alternative to slime, which can be quite messy to make. The glitter provides the wow factor, and you can easily add food coloring to create different paint colors.
Want to take it a step further? Add a couple of drops of essential oils to the mix for a sparkly scented paint that kids love. Let your imagination inspire you!
