This summer I saw small boxes with different experiments from Simple Science LLC on sale. I bought it for the kids to try and they all enjoyed experimenting. In this review I’ll tell you how to get white, crumbly and warm snow in the middle of summer. Children from 4 to 13 years old watched the experiment and did not get bored with what they saw.

Composition – Sodium polyacrylate, white substance in a bag.
Sodium polyacrylate from this set has high absorbent properties. It is capable of absorbing liquid 200-300 times its own volume.

Experiment
1. According to the instructions, take a 2 liter jar and pour the powder into it. We begin to pour water.

3. Pour another glass of water and continue stirring. Before our eyes, the powder begins to swell and heat up.

4. It’s not convenient to mix in a jar, so I pour everything into a bowl. Hurray, the snow turned out to be white, warm and completely pleasant to the touch.

We tried to make a snowman out of it. The children (mine and the neighbors) enthusiastically began to knead it, in order of turn. There were 5 children watching the experiment, so they sculpted slowly.

It turned out that artificial snow molds well and holds its shape.

My impressions
It’s hard to surprise modern children, but this summer this experiment was a great success. Of course, this is entertainment for one time. Don’t think that you can buy a bag of sodium polyacrylate for every holiday and it will make everyone happy.
Disadvantages - after the experiment you need to wash your hands. The experiment is not suitable for very young children. They can even be put into your mouth and you need to be careful to wash your hands afterwards. I really liked the snowball, it doesn’t have a strong smell, it’s warm and so pleasant. After playing with it, we left the snow in the basin. Slowly it began to melt, but it turned not into water, but into something slimy and viscous. I think that you shouldn’t throw this snow down the toilet, but rather dispose of it in the trash.
Scientific experiments and experiments Simple science will allow you to clearly and in an accessible form show children how interesting and exciting chemistry is. All the necessary ingredients for the experiment are collected in small boxes, detailed instructions and a description of the experiment are given. The Simple Science experiment set in a box allows your child to conduct an experiment on their own.
The artificial snow experiment kit is one of the most popular kits from Simple Science. Our customers buy the Artificial Snow experience several times, order it as a gift for friends or as small but interesting gifts for children at school.
Children really enjoy creating and then playing with the “snow.” The experience does not require serious preparation or a long time. To make artificial snow with your own hands, just take 2 glasses and the contents of the kit. As soon as the water and powder are combined, the magic begins - you can witness how snow appears. One bag yields 2 liters of “snow”.
The advantage of this set is that it can be used several times. Gradually, the moisture from the snow will evaporate, but if you add water again, the volume will gradually begin to increase. You can also dry the snow to a powder state, remove it, and then use it again. To do this, you need to spread the snow on paper in a thin layer and let it dry.
To buy an Artificial Snow Experiment Kit, just add the product to your cart and select a convenient delivery method.

Experiment Artificial snow– this is a sea of fun ideas in one box. The chemical substance that is in it, due to its incredible absorbent properties, increases in volume and forms a real snowdrift right in the room. Discover science in a fun way!
Snow that doesn't melt
The box contains instructions and a bag of sodium polyacrylate. Pour its contents into a two-liter jar or other large container. Then slowly pour a glass of water into it and mix thoroughly. Do the same with the second glass. Right before our eyes, the substance begins to swell and increase in size. As a result, one bag produces a whole liter of soft and crumbly snow. This is due to the fact that sodium polyacrylate is able to absorb liquid 300 times its own volume.
If the “snow” turns out to be too watery, it means you overdid it with liquid.
The substance can be reused: when moisture evaporates, it loses volume and gradually returns to its original state. The dried “snow” can be stored in a box and taken out when the child wants to play with it. How? There are many options! You can build a snowman, play snowballs, arrange “drifts” for cars, and recreate a wonderful winter landscape.
Benefits for development
An experiment in a box expands knowledge about the world around us, develops imagination, curiosity, patience and accuracy.
Imagine and experiment!
