Texture Test: The shaving cream adds a little extra fluff to the snow, while still allowing it to pack nicely too!

Clean-up Test: The messiest part of this shaving cream and corn starch method was that I decided to use my hands instead of a spoon to mix the ingredients in the beginning and everything stuck to my hands!If the particle size is too big for "snowflakes," pulse the wet gel in a blender to reach the desired consistency. Originally, the scientists developed a hydrolyzed product made from a starch-acrylonitrile co-polymer. Interestingly, water is absorbed deeply into each granule, which is why the “snowflakes” seem dry on the outside. If you want your snow to be really cold like real snow then keep it in the freezer a few hours before the experiment. We have shared How to Make Snow Slime in the past, and the directions are similar to making this easy cloud slime recipe.

With less water, the granules would still swell but not as much, and the overall effect wouldn’t be as noticeable. The instant snow with salt and water (method 2) takes home the trophy for the coldest temperature of snow. Clean-up Test: Cleans up pretty well and leaves less residue on your hands as long as you mix it with a spoon first.

If it is sufficiently cold, there shouldn't be a problem, but if your concept of the temperature is mistaken, you could end up causing a dangerous accident. This experiment is so easy to do and only takes 2 household ingredients to create endless snowy fun for the kids (and adults like me).

These included Dow Chemical, General Mills, Sanyo Chemical, Kao, Nihon Sarch, Dupont, and Sumitomo Chemical. If the temperature is warmer than 32°F on the ground it can still snow if the air above the ground is cold enough, but the snow will melt quickly once it hits the ground.

I am in charge of my daughter's 3rd grade Christmas party and I am going to make instant snow 2 different ways, but would love to also send Ziploc bags home of Instant snow. With the conditioner being room temperature, the snow mixture is not quite as cold as the 1st method.
