Sometimes Science surprises us! We made 2 fake snow recipes yesterday and the results were… a bit messy to say the least. If you want to make this snow at home, the recipe for our successful fake snow was:
Mix together 1 tablespoon of white hair conditioner and 5-10 tablespoons of baking soda. Stir until well combined, adding more baking soda or conditioner until you get a texture that is not too sticky and can be molded into a ‘snowman’. Optionally, you might add a drop of colour to your snow.

We learned that baking soda works much better than cornstarch when making fake snow. We will try this experiment again on Friday to create our ‘perfect’ recipe. Stay tuned!
