Let it snow..let it snow...let it snow ..

As we now come into the Winter Solstice wouldn't some snow be lovely! We are a family of winter and water sports so snow would be fab to play in.

Unfortunately I don't think there is any snow forecasted, so we have only gone and made our own.

Just kidding... we have made some icing sugar snow and marshmallows to make our own melting snowman biscuits. This activity required just popping to the shop for a few bits and fun was had trying to make them.

Why not have a try yourselves and share your creations below.. Enjoy!
