Make snow anytime, anywhere with this unique science kit.
Simply add water and watch it expand into snow—snow that lasts for weeks
without melting! For cleanup, simply allow it to dry up, throw salt on it to
melt it, or use it in a garden (this was originally used in the agricultural
industry to grow drought-tolerant crops). Kids will be enthralled by this
mesmerizing kit—especially when you pull it out in the middle of summer! Includes
100 g. of instant “snow”.
Publisher's Description of Miracle Snow Jar
Get ready to watch the fastest snow on Earth! Just add water
and watch in jaw dropping delight at how fast it grows! Make Miracle Snow in
any temperature in any climate! Make it in a bowl, in a hat, or in your hand!
Miracle Snow expands as it absorbs water and forms life-like snow. It lasts for
weeks without rehydrating. The one-ounce package will make over half a gallon
of Miracle Snow!
Miracle Snow makes over 9 cups of snow with only 3 cups of
water!
You can fluff Miracle Snow with a spoon to make it expand even more!
Miracle Snow can be used at parties, weddings, festivals, on parade floats and
much more!
Miracle Snow will grow even faster when you use warm water!
Miracle Snow can be reused and lasts 4 to 6 weeks!
Miracle Snow is used by farmers to grow more drought-tolerant crops.
Miracle Snow is easy to clean up. The water will evaporate out of it and it
will dry up. It can be re-used or thrown away! You can salt the snow to immediately melt it–
just like real snow! You can also mix it
into the soil in a garden or pot to help with water retention. These polymers were originally used in the
agricultural industry for that purpose.
