Teachers from coast to coast continue to share their classroom connections and techniques for using our Insta-Snow powder as a teaching tool. With input from many teachers, we developed the Grow Snow Classroom Kit as a tool for introducing students to chemical reactions, polymer science, and the environmental benefits of superabsorbents.

Insta-Snow is an amazing polymer that turns ordinary water into a white fluffy substance that looks like real snow! Insta-Snow is the latest technology used by movie makers to create incredibly realistic snow scenes without the hassle of melting ice. Just add a little water and watch the white powder expand to 100 times its original size.
