MEDIUM Quick Snow Powder

A little gose a long way but clean up is super easy

I have bought instant snow in the past & absolutely loved it . The snow I got last year was out of stock so I decided to give this one a try . It was absolutely awful mush . Followed the directions & the " snow " was more like 3 day old yucky slush no one wants to play in . Didn't feel like real snow in the slightly. Stuck to everything. Horrible to clean up. There are many other options out there that actually feel like snow , clean up easy , & you can even reuse . I urge whoever is reading this review to not purchase this one .

This will be a Xmas activity for my toddlers, and it looks like so much fun. I’m sure it will be a mess, but worth it for them to get some ‘snow’ sensory play Update: my kids loved it. It is basically the stuff that’s inside a diaper to absorb urine. Fun to play with and we were just careful to not get it in mouths or eyes. Disposed of it in trash, but I’ve heard of people using it to mix with soil for plants because it holds moisture well.

This powder is does a great job as absorbing water but too much and it looks more like a clear slush instead of snow. The only recommended direction for amounts to add included "2 cups" per gallon of water though I was not sure exactly whether the cup meant the 1oz scoop or an actual cup which would have a different meaning. I added about a half a scoop to about a liter of water and while it did manage to absorb the whole way up to the top as seen in the video it was clear. A few days later it was still a clear color overall and had not dehydrated much. I tested with a smaller amount and just added a little water in at a time and it took on a better appearance, more like that of snow and being more white. Any way you look at it, it's a cool material to play with or use as a conversation starter so give it a try and see for yourself

So, I got this to play with the kiddos because some of the surrounding areas were getting snow and we weren’t. I didn’t expect this to be as fun as it is. We mixed it following the instructions on the container and in just a couple minutes the kiddos were able to see what snow would be like (with the exception of it being so cold). They had an absolute blast. The best part about this is now we can have snow in the summer time if we so chose. Would recommend!

I’ve used other brands of play snow before for sensory bins and this snow is not the same. Even following the recipe, it is watery slush. Very messy, doesn’t pack together, not snow like at all. Also it is a HUGE pain to clean up. 0/10 would not recommend.

The kids loved squishing this up… I on the other hand did not! If you’re looking for something fun the kids can make a mess with this is it! It is in fact like mashed up orbeez, sticky and wet. It clings to the hand, and kind of makes a mess everywhere. It’s very gelatinous and not dryer like other fake snow. However, for sensory purposes I thought this was great! Maybe too textured to be a squish ball but certainly malleable to use as such. Disappointing to purchase thinking it would be fake snow like, even though it is labeled as such. Not a complete bust so I gave it 3 stars. I’m going to play around with the water amount as well to see if that makes any difference, if it does, I will update!

I am a former preschool teacher, so I have used other brands of “instant snow” in the past. I ordered this brand for my 4 year old’s sensory bin and was excited for her to have a new sensory activity for homeschooling. I measured everything out as it said to on the directions and we waited the proper amount of time. The first thing I noticed was that the ‘snow’ was more like slush and didn’t look very white at all. The first thing my daughter said was that “it smells”. I added arctic animal toy figures to add to the experience but the snow was not a good consistency and my daughter didn’t like the way it stuck all over her hands. I thought it might just be too wet, so I sprinkled a bit more snow power on top. It didn’t seem to help at all. It seems like the granules might be too large so they absorb too much water.
