How to Paint a Snow Angel in the Snow

Painting your snow angel adds an extra special touch.

Making snow angels is an activity that can be accomplished by individuals of any age and painting them is even more fun. Once your snow angel is painted, it becomes much more visible to passersby and serves as a place to take an unusual seasonal picture. Consider using the photograph for an annual holiday card you'll send to friends and family. Painting snow angels is also a satisfying family activity as everyone - from tiny tots to grandparents - can participate by making and painting their own snow angels.

Things You'll Need

• Spray paint, any color

Instructions

1. Put on clothes and outerwear that will keep you warm in the snow.

2. Lie down in a fresh area of snow that has not been disturbed by anything. Snow that has just fallen works the best.

3. Spread your arms and legs out to the sides. Move them back and forth several times as if you were doing a jumping jack.

4. Get up carefully without disturbing the snow angel you just made. It is helpful if you have someone there to help pull you up.

5. Shake your can of spray paint vigorously.

6. Get as close to your snow angel as you can without disturbing it and carefully spray paint the inside of your snow angel.
