Snow Art!

Are your kids tired of making snowmen and just can't seem to bear the thought of another snowball fight or snow fort?  Do they want desperately to do something else that doesn't require barreling down a hill at breakneck speeds?  Well then, Ive got just the thing-Snow Art!  What's that you say?  Here, let me explain...
Take some of that crusty old food coloring out of the pantry that you are never going to use, grab a set of squeeze bottles or squirt bottles from the local discount store, add water and presto, you've got endless hours of fun!
Fill each bottle up with water and add a few drops of food dye to give your creative kids a spectrum of lovely color. Squeeze bottles work great for precise lines and drawings and the squirt bottles are great for larger fill in jobs.
Sit back and watch as their imaginations run wild with possibility and they bring a world of color and life into your once boringly white yard! 
Rainbows will appear before your very eyes.
Caterpillars will emerge from their cocoons as beautiful butterflies,

and secret messages will be written for the stars.  Even you will want to get in on the action because all the world is a canvas!
As the end of the evening your kids will fall happily into bed, exhausted and dreaming of all of the magickal things that they brought to life that day.  This will go on for days and as long as the snow lasts you will have some very busy kiddos, though you may have to talk the neighbors into donating there yards for the sake of art! ;)
