There are so many options out there for fake snow for pretend play. It’s enough to make your head spin! In fact, there are even packages of fake snow you can order off of Amazon, which was news to me.

If you’re looking to go the DIY route, you’re still left with a ton of options. Cornstarch, baking soda, flour, shaving cream, the list goes on.

This was a super easy version of fake snow, and I’m sure I’ll try them all and share the results over the years. The version we tried this year was conditioner and baking soda.

Here’s What You’ll Need for DIY Sensory Snow:

  • 3 cups baking soda
  • 1/2 cup white conditioner

That’s it! Seriously.

As with most DIY sensory mediums, I did not measure. I poured some of our baking soda into the sensory bin, and squirted in a bit of cheap white conditioner and mixed until it was a nice texture.

It came out powdery, but moldable. It was perfect fake snow, and reminded me of moon sand, honestly. But hey, my son referred to it as snow, so that’s really all that matters.

We had a busy day of homeschooling, so I didn’t earn any marks for creativity with this bin. I threw in some pinecones and the polar bear figurines we used from our arctic sensory bin and polar bear study.

The end result was still quite “Winter-y” and magical to my son, so I was a happy mama.
