First thing you will need are spray bottles, squirt bottles, misters something that will disperse the "paint" into the snow.
We scavenged through the house for all the spray bottles we could find (unfortunately some of the didn't work because of this, but a lesson learned).
Then fill your bottles with water....yes I said water.
Then add food coloring. I added 4 drops to the smaller bottles and 8 to the larger bottles but found that the larger bottles weren't as bright when we went to use them so next time I will add a few more drops to those. You can do straight colors from the bottles or mix them to make new colors...we plan to use orange and green next time we do this.
See...told you simple and easy.
Then we put the bottles into a 5 gallon bucket to make it easier to take them outside and move them around as my daughter "painted" the snow.
She was so happy with her creations that we decided to create a bin for this. I am going to visit the dollar store and pick up a bunch of spray bottles to put in the bin and use just for snow painting in the winter and chalk painting in the summer...once it is warmer out I will do a post on the chalk painting.
Happy painting
