If you aren’t fortunate enough to live in the north where snow falls freely, here is a fun way to play in the snow without the cold.  Using a basic shaving cream, spray cream directly onto table, window, mirror or bath surface.  Kids can use fingers to make pictures in the “snow”.  I use a sensitive based cream for my kids because they have dry skin in the winter, but any cream will work nicely.  My kids LOVE to play with shaving cream in the bathtub. They could stay in there for hours if I let them. When teaching, I spray the cream on tables and let the children play with cars, cookie cutters and other toys in the “snow”. This is such a fantastic activity for pennies. We get our shaving cream from the dollar store and it lasts for several play times.  (This picture of my daughter playing with shaving cream was taken right before her bottom tooth fell out! )
