• Water
• Food coloring
• Plastic squeeze bottles (condiment bottles) 
• Plastic cups 
• Tray
• Scoop 
• Fresh snow 

How to make Snow Castles - Directions:

STEP 1: Pick your colours.

To begin making these fun snow castles, start by selecting which colours your want to use. Use a few selected colours or all the colours of the rainbow, the choice is yours! Then, gather the rest of the materials. 

STEP 2: Fill up your bottles.

Take your squeeze bottles, fill them up with water, and then add a couple of food coloring drops to each bottle.  Close the lid tight and shake well, so everything blends smoothly. 

STEP 3: Prep your cups.

Now it is time to head outdoors and get your hands on some snow! Once you've decided where you and the kids will play, scoop fresh snow into a tray.

Take the snow and scoop it in your cups. Then, put on your waterproof gloves and pack the snow down with your hands.

Now, take the bottles and squeeze out the coloured water into the cup. You can mix up this activity by using just one colour for each cup of snow or by experimenting with multiple colours.

Make sure you add enough coloured water to cover the snow towards the bottom of the cup. A great way to do this is to insert the bottle's tip into your snow cup and squirt it down towards the bottom.

STEP 3: Make your snow castles

Turn the cup of coloured snow over onto the snow-covered ground, lift the cup up carefully, and create a snow castle!

 

These little multi-coloured snow castles look so pretty! Making snow castles is a wonderful snow activity to enjoy those cold winter days when you want some fun outdoor play. Enjoy!
