How to Make Toys for the Snow

Make a Sled

• 1

  Fold a cardboard box of the desired sled size so it lays flat.

• 2

  Cut a trash bag to cover both sides of the box and secure it onto the box using waterproof tape.

• 3

  Poke holes at six inch intervals along the two long sides of the box, stopping six inches from each end.

• 4

  Tie and knot the rope in one hole at the end of one side of the sled.

• 5

  Lace the rope through the remainder of the holes, going up one side and down the other side. Knot the end of the rope in the last hole. Pull the rope so a handle is formed at the front of the sled.

Snow Coloring

• 6

  Fill a spray bottle with water and seven or eight drops of food coloring.

• 7

  Shake the bottle to mix the food coloring with the water and spray a small amount on the snow to test the color. Add more food coloring if the color is not bright enough.

• 8

  Place cookie cutters or homemade stencils onto the snow. Spray inside the cookie cutters or stencils to create pictures and words in the snow.
