What could possibly be more fun than playing with snow?? Playing with snow in your monkey pajamas!! Woo hoo!!!
1 Container of Clean Snow + plastic spoons + ice cream scoop + empty yogurt containers = 1 Happy Kiddo!
Pajamas are not strictly required, though they are highly recommended — as is a towel to catch any “escaping ice cream”.
This little ice cream shop kept Clara happily entertained for a long time, and she got to observe how snow melts into water — a sneaky science lesson!
Have fun!!

Dear Valerie,
I have two observations:
1. The 9,999 more of those bowls of snow, and you will have shoveled the driveway.
2. Snow lasts for several hours without melting all that much in our house.
Love,
Mark

I don’t know whether to be happy or sad about #2. Our house is freakin’ cold!
January 31st, 2011 on 1:08 pm
How cute! We love bringing snow in to play!
February 3rd, 2011 on 9:05 pm
It’s so much fun! And it had a magical way of keeping Clara happily occupied for long periods of time… Yay!!
January 31st, 2011 on 1:13 pm
What a cute and fun activity. And I think it’s freakin’ cold in everyone’s house right now!
February 3rd, 2011 on 9:05 pm
Amen to that! I, for one, am hoping for an early Spring this year!!!
January 31st, 2011 on 1:22 pm
What a great idea and we have those PJS too!
February 3rd, 2011 on 9:06 pm
Thanks, Cathy! Aren’t they just the cutest?? I’m going to be so sad when she out-grows them… sniff, sniff

Hey, it’s not freaking cold in my California house. Snow play inside – how fun.
February 3rd, 2011 on 9:06 pm
Send some of that sunshine this way, will ya?
January 31st, 2011 on 1:47 pm
Now do another science of turning that clean snow into actual ice cream!! It is so much fun
February 3rd, 2011 on 9:07 pm
Oh, I like that idea!!
January 31st, 2011 on 2:54 pm
We keep our house warm – about 68 degrees. I could not live in a cold house!!!!
I have been thinking of bringing some snow inside to play, but this idea is super cute.
February 3rd, 2011 on 9:07 pm
Thanks, Christy! It is super-easy to set up, and kept her busy for a good long while. A win-win in my book! Have fun!!
January 31st, 2011 on 3:59 pm
That would be so much fun, unfortunately- no snow here in Australia, not even in winter!
February 3rd, 2011 on 9:08 pm
Oh, I wish I could package some up and mail it your way! Playing in snow is lots of fun, and there is no shortage of the stuff around here!!
January 31st, 2011 on 4:06 pm
What a great way to play with the snow! It’s 14 today, so staying inside sounds like a good idea.
February 3rd, 2011 on 9:09 pm
Yes, stay inside! Wow, that is bitter cold. Have fun with this!! xoxo
January 31st, 2011 on 4:10 pm
That reminds me of a project I’ve been wanting to make
Super fun idea if you have snow
February 3rd, 2011 on 9:10 pm
We have piles and piles of it! I’m starting to forget that there is actually grass underneath all of that snow.
January 31st, 2011 on 4:27 pm
Just adorable!!!
February 3rd, 2011 on 9:11 pm
Awww… thank you, Jacque!
January 31st, 2011 on 4:41 pm
We’ll be trying this tomorrow…more snow expected
We should have no problem finding clean snow.
February 3rd, 2011 on 9:13 pm
I know what you mean! Unbelievable how much snow we’ve gotten this year, isn’t it???
January 31st, 2011 on 6:48 pm
Dear Valerie,
Does Clara *own* clothes?
Love,
Tera
February 3rd, 2011 on 9:16 pm
Hahahahahahahhaa!!!!
It’s been scientifically proven that crafts are 57% more fun when done in your pajamas. That’s a fact!
January 31st, 2011 on 8:08 pm
That is fantastic.
February 3rd, 2011 on 9:16 pm
Awww.. thanks,Ashley!
January 31st, 2011 on 9:13 pm
Love it! My daughter has been sick for the past two days and longing to play in the snow. What a brilliant idea! I can bring the snow IN. We will be doing that tomorrow. Thanks!
February 3rd, 2011 on 9:16 pm
Yay!!! Have fun and I hope she feels better soon!! xoxo
January 31st, 2011 on 11:36 pm
Well, since we reached the upper 60′s here in East Tennessee today, I don’t think we will be playing with indoor snow any time soon…
(I know, I know, don’t hate me ’cause of my GORGEOUS weather!) :0)
February 3rd, 2011 on 9:17 pm
Ack! Send some of it this way, please!!
February 1st, 2011 on 11:57 am
Looks so fun!
February 3rd, 2011 on 9:17 pm
Thanks, Amanda!
February 1st, 2011 on 12:25 pm
Have a fun making snow cones!! Are you guys suppose to get that nasty snow storm?
February 3rd, 2011 on 9:18 pm
Yes, and it was pretty bad. The kids didn’t have school for several days!!
February 1st, 2011 on 10:50 pm
Such a fun idea to do this inside and with the yogurt cups! We’ll have to do this too!
February 3rd, 2011 on 9:18 pm
Yay! Have fun, Jenni!!!
February 2nd, 2011 on 12:58 pm
Looks like she had fun with this one!
February 3rd, 2011 on 9:18 pm
It was a blast! I love how such simple things can make her so happy!!
February 5th, 2011 on 12:04 am
You come up with the funniest ideas!! I wish you were my mommy!! Im so glad I subscribe to your blog.
October 29th, 2011 on 2:26 pm
Fun! If we had all that snow, I’d make snow cream!!
