We all make snowmen which is great fun but how about ringing the changes and making a different character? Snow painting open up a whole world of possibilities! What about a snow-dog, a snow-dragon, a snow-penguin, a snow-teddy or even a snow-mummy or daddy! The possibilities are endless!
We’ve been busy in the garden snow painting to make a snow cat that Biscuit and Crumb decided to call Tabitha.
The children loved how it brought their character to life. Say hello to Tabitha the Snowcat, our new pet!
Ideas For Snow Painting – Winter Art
Winter art for kids is lots of fun when it involves snow.
- Kids can paint their snow creations like snowmen or snow cats!
- Or how about painting flat snow pictures directly on the snow laying on the ground?
- If it’s too cold for snow painting outside then you could try putting some snow into a deep tray and bringing it inside to paint in the warm.
How To Set Up Snow Painting
Whenever we snow paint we use:
All of them have worked well for us.
I think it’s fun to experiment and see which paints your kids like the most. It’s also fun to explore different ways of applying the paint. You can use:
We’d love to hear all about your snow creations too.

January 20, 2013 at 11:11 pmThis looks fab. We wanted to do food colouring but I only had green, and we did not have enough snow to make any kind of animal unless it was very very small!
