Answer 3

Shredded coconut will work fine, and if you want finer pieces then you can put it into a food processor and grind it up a little!  It will be non-toxic for the kids and you can use it later if you don't mind preschoolers hands on it (I wouldnt, because who knows where their hands have been!) Good luck! if my idea dosent work for you i hope you find a good one!

Answer 5

When I worked in childcare we used whip cream for snow that way the children could taste it and we didn't have to worry about them. We would put it on wax paper and let them go to town. It was a huge hit.

Buy a snow cone maker if you want snow.  I tried to do a google for you and didn't come up with anything either.  

Sounds like a great project for the scouts too.

Answer 10

I am a mentor preschool teacher in a head start center. There are many different recipes for snow. Many of the children at my center has never seen snow. Which it includes myself. A easy recipe for making snow is:

                            Materials

1/2 bar of Ivory soap

Quart size baggie or zip lock bag

1/2 cup of water

                             Instructions

Place the bar of soap in the baggie. Then pour the water little over the soap. Fold top down and tape(to prevent spilling) and place in the refrigerator overnight.  Encourage the children to knead the soap in the bag. Scoop snow out and the children can make snow balls to play with. This is a great science experiment and feels great( instant lotion). For an extended activity let it melt some and the possibilities are endless. This activity accompanies the books " Dream Snow, The Mitten, Snowy Day. ( great books).
