The Snowy Day Snow Dough Recipe and Sensory Bin

Whether you live in a place where it snows a lot or you live in a place that never gets snow, Snow Dough is awesome! So many kids love sensory play, animals, and classic books so I decided to put them all together with a fun-filled day of hands-on activities and learning. Have you made snow dough yet?

Homemade Snow Dough

Easy Snow Dough Recipe:

This recipe gives you enough snow dough for 2-3 children. Approx. 10 cups of snow. Not Edible!

12 oz. of conditioner (I used a whole small bottle of Alberto VO5 found at Walmart for $0.70

3 16oz. boxes of Baking Soda

Optional: Glitter and Essential oils

We used white glitter and 2 drops of Evergreen Essence Essential oil from Young Living

Freeze for 2 hours (optional) The freezing is just to make it colder, it turns out just like snow either way.

Have fun!

Checking out all of the different animal feet/tracks from these awesome Schleich animals. The children love how realistic these animals look.

We also enjoyed learning about different animals and their tracks. You can get these free animal track cards from Montessori for Everyone.

Children love to look at animals and see how different they all are. A great book for this is Crinkleroot’s Guide to Walking in Wild Places and Crinkleroot’s Guide to Animal Tracking. These are a few of our all-time favorite animal books.
