Separate and fluff up the fake snow with your fingers.

Tip

You can make a larger quantity of snow by proportionally increasing the amount of baking soda and water.

Warning

Make sure you have a container that can handle the expansion of the baking soda and water or you may end up with a big overflowing mess. It's best to set this project up outdoors because it’s hard to predict how much the baking soda and water will expand.
