Save your recipe here 🌨️⛄️ ❄️ Welcome to Taste Safe Tuesday! I’m Akilina, a pediatric OT and mom, and I’ve been sharing sensory play ideas to inspire hours of fun for little ones. Today, we’re making taste-safe snow that’s crumbly, bright white, moldable, and oh-so-fun to play with! Recipe for 1 Cup of Baking Soda Snow: • 1 cup baking soda • Slowly add water by the teaspoon, mixing as you go, until the snow becomes crumbly but moldable. (Tip: Be cautious—too much water can make it slushy. Add just a bit at a time!) Optional: Refrigerate your snow before play to make it feel cool and realistic, just like the real thing! ✨ Play Ideas: • Build a mini snowman using simple accessories: dried beans for eyes, mini twigs for arms, and an acorn for a hat. • Add trucks to “clear the snow” and set up a mini winter construction site. • Create snowballs and practice hand-strengthening by molding, smashing, and rolling! Storage Tips: Keep your snow in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. If it starts to dry out, revive it with a small sprinkle of water. Follow along for more sensory activities, child development tips, and product recs that make life with kids easier (and way more fun).
