If a student finishes all activities they may choose an activity of their choice from my website.

Cold Snow Dough

20 ounce bottle of white body lotion (refrigerate overnight)
16 ounce box of corn starch (freeze overnight)
Optional - glitter and/or peppermint extract

Pour the corn starch in a bowl. You can add a few drops of the peppermint extract and glitter at this time if you desire.  The amount of glitter is your preference. Now slowly add in 1/2 the bottle of lotion for desired consistency. Add more for a gooey consistency or less to make it powdery.  Either way it is moldable and fun to use.

Post pictures of your creations and your comments.

Happy Snow Day!
