Makes Fluffy Artificial Snow in Seconds!

It can be troublesome (and a bit soggy) to have real snow in your house, but that's not the case with our amazing Insta-Snow® Powder. Just add water and the powder instantly erupts into amazing artificial snow that looks and feels like the real thing. Technically, it’s a superabsorbent polymer (if you really want to know), but it looks and feels like the real thing. It’s so realistic that it’s being used in indoor snowboarding parks and by special effects artists in movies. Once you start playing with the stuff, you just can’t put it down.

Creating a snow day is simple and fun. Just use the included blue scoop to get the perfect amount of powder in a small cup or in someone's hands and then pour 2 oz. of water over it. One! You can see the powder begin to polymerize. Two! The powder is starting to expand more and more. Three! The powder over flows and you've got a brilliant start to your own snow storm.

No matter which Insta-Snow product you choose, it has all the materials you need including mixing instructions, scientific explanation, and the measuring blue scoop to make sure that you mix-up a perfect batch every time! Recommended for children ages 4 and up with adult supervision.

Don't be fooled by imitations! Steve Spangler's Insta-Snow has been featured on The Tonight Show, Regis Live, The Today Show, ABC's Good Morning America, The CBS Morning Show, and The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Insta-Snow Frequently Asked Questions

Cool Ideas for Using Insta-Snow

How does it work?

Just mix a cup of water with a scoop of Insta-Snow polymer and within seconds, the liquid turns into a solid and then erupts into a fluffy white, snow-like material (no mixing required). Watch in amazement as it instantly expands up to 100 times its original volume. It’s not sticky or clumpy like other Insta-Snow imitations. Insta-Snow® is the only brand of snow polymer that actually erupts into a fluffy white powder. Insta-Snow doesn't melt, it's long-lasting, and it's even reusable after it dries out. Perfect for holiday decorating.

What does it teach?

Explore the ever-changing science of polymers as students experiment with Instant Snow. Each Insta-Snow product comes with an activity guide with suggestions for science fair projects, classroom demonstrations, experiment ideas, and fun ways to explore the science of polymers. Insta-Snow, the original Instant Snow, is an amazing polymer that turns ordinary water into a white fluffy substance that looks like real snow! It's the latest technology used by movie makers to create incredibly realistic snow scenes.

SCIENCE SMARTS

We are a funny company with lots of funny people working hard to make learning fun. But we take science very seriously at Steve Spangler Science. We thoroughly evaluate the safety aspects of all of our products prior to their use in the school or home. We also understand that safety is a mutual responsibility. All of our instructions detail the necessary procedures you must take in order to conduct the experiments in the safest manner possible. Is water safe? Yes and no... it all depends on how YOU use it. That’s why every safety data sheet tells you to “keep out of reach of young children” regardless of how safe the material might be.

ADVICE FOR SUPERVISING ADULTS:

We require all science experiments to be conducted under the supervision of an adult. Read and follow the safety instructions, the safety rules and the first aid information and keep them for reference. The incorrect use of chemicals can cause injury and damage to health. Adults should exercise discretion as to which experiments are suitable and safe for their children. The instructions should enable supervisors to assess any experiment to establish its suitability for a particular child. The supervising adult should discuss the warnings and safety information with the child or children before commencing the experiments. Particular attention should be paid to the safe handling of chemicals. The surrounding area should be kept clear of any obstructions and the contents of the activity kept away from food or food storage. The work space should be well lit, ventilated and close to a water supply.

THIS KIT CONTAINS THIS CHEMICAL:

SODIUM POLYACRYLATE (INSTA-SNOW)

This product is not considered to be a health risk. Sodium polyacrylate is the superabsorbent material used in disposable baby diapers. Keep away from eyes and mouth. Keep out of reach of young children.

GENERAL CHEMICAL SAFETY:

DO NOT PLACE THE MATERIAL IN THE MOUTH. DO NOT INHALE THE DUST OR POWDER. MAY IRRITATE EYES, SKIN, NASAL AND RESPIRATORY PASSAGES.

EYES: Rinse immediately with water. Remove contact lenses if wearing any. Flush eyes with water for 15 minutes.

SWALLOWED: Rinse mouth. Drink a glassful of water or milk. Do not induce vomiting.

SKIN: This material is safe to touch. Rinse skin with water when finished.

DISPOSAL: This material is considered to be non-hazardous and environmentally safe. The finished product can be disposed of by normal means (in the trash) or dissolved with excess water. The snow product can also be mixed with dirt as a way to hold moisture in the soil. Insta-Snow will biodegrade in 90 days.

CLOGGED DRAIN:

Do not put Insta-Snow down the drain. In the event of a clogged drain, add table salt and excess water to the snow to break down the polymer.

IN CASE OF ACCIDENTAL INTAKE OF A CHEMICAL OR OBJECT, CALL: 1-800-222-1222.

This toll-free number will put you in touch with the poison control center in your state.

WARNING: If your child has collapsed or is not breathing, call 911.

The product worked well and as expected.

What I could not find was what the end product is made of, (or the initial product). Working with kids many wanted to take it home. I was reluctant to let them do so for fear that I really didn't know what the hazards might be. What if a small child or any child ate it. What is the chemical make up in the case of emergency. Can you address those concerns. What safety precautions need to be made in using this product.
Outside of those concerns and questions the product performed excellently.
Also do you have any curriculum or materials that could be used to incorporate this into a scientific lesson. Yes it is neat but how can it be used to show some scientific principle?

Peter -
We can assure you that Insta-Snow is completely non-toxic and safe for children of all ages. However, we completely understand the desire to be prepared. We have Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) available for all of our products. Do obtain an MSDS for any product that you have purchased from us, just give us a call at (800)223-9080 and we'll email/fax/mail you one.

We used this as one of the activities in my son's "mad scientist" sixth birthday party. It was a big hit at the party and the kids all enjoyed playing with their snow for a few minutes after we made it.

My only caveat is that some of the smaller siblings, ages 2-3, accidentally rubbed their eyes while playing with the snow and it burned their eyes and they started crying loudly. Obviously you want to try to keep any foreign substance out of childrens' eyes but I thought there would be stronger warnings on the package given the rather intense response those two children had to getting a tiny bit in the eyes. So I would say yes this is a fun product but only for kids above age 5 or so, who can reliably play with it while heeding warnings about not rubbing their eyes.

Liz -
Yikes! You definitely want to keep any sort of chemical away from the eyes from little ones and we understand the concern. Not to worry, though. The loud reaction the little ones had to the Insta-Snow in there eyes would be just like if they got sand in their eyes. It is irritating them, but not in a chemical fashion. Regardless, we are sorry that they had that horrible experience and hope that they'll still want to experiment when they're older!

We wanted to do science "tricks" for neighbors. One fast and easy was the instant snow, and funny since we are in Arizona and snow is RARE here. We demonstrated the snow in the beakers but each kid took home a test tube of snow to try later. Labeled the tubes with DO NOT EAT, add small amount of water, and the web address for this site. Quick, clean, non toxic fun!

I am a preschool teacher and my class loves making snow. We have made different colors and tried different ratios of water to snow to find just the right combo. When I order snow I usually order fizzer tablets as well. One thing I started this year was That on a kids birthday they got to decide what color of snow to make. My class loves to get toys from our play kitchen and pretend they are making eggs and pancakes and soup. We also put a polar bear toy in the snow and they tought that was fun. And the snow is very easy to clean up. GREAT PRODUCT

As part of a science day I presented for my son's PRE-k class this was the crowd pleaser. I am a high school physics teacher in a rural cash strapped district, so when I was afforded the opportunity to do a science day my focus was on two goals- fun through learning, and cost. The insta-snow worked for both. We tinted some of the snow blue because our school colors are blue and white. I came with enough so every kid could experience the growing polymer for themselves and clean up was easy. Even my high schools were amazed, when I was trying it out the day before. I was took it my other son's (2 year old) school, and again it worked great.

I did this as a class project with my kindergarteners. I divided the snow up and gave each child water and a spoon to dribble the water in to the cup. They all loved doing their own experimenting. When we finished, I sent snow, cups and all home in plastic bags. We also used the snow in our sensory table.

The snow is WOUNDERFUL! I play Santa for the Month of December in many places. I found a product like this for the first time three years ago and we had so much fun for just a small can. Last year I found another snow product that ended up being a big failure. When you mixed in the water you had to use something to mix and fluff it yourself. It felt like snow and would pack into a snow ball. This was not good being around small children. I purchased this product and it is wonderful, NO MIXIING! I place a very small amount into a glass and it grows out and all over the table top for the children to play with after just pouring in the water. NO PACKING of the snow, just fluffy fun. The children are more amazed with this product than any I have used in the past. GREAT STUFF!

After all our snow days this year in Boston, Snow Day was my daughter's party theme for turning 6. The outside was slushy and yucky but inside we made batch after batch of Insta-Snow. The trick never got old. The kids sprinkled it in their hair, squeezed it, made it extra slushy, and decorated with it. But making it *repeatedly* was repeatedly the best part. Adults who came for pickup asked a lot about the science especially why it was cold to the touch! Now my 3 year old has filled toy plate, bowls and cups with "sugar" or "flour" and keeps cooking things for us. Not just snow - it can be anything with imagination.

I teach preK and kindergarten science during the regular school year.

I just made 2 cups of the snow and it looks like the children I work with will love it. I am using the product in a sand table as a replacement for sand. I provide therapy to children who have been a victim of abuse.

The best ever

This is the coolest. My kids love the snow and living at the beach they don't see alot of it, but this brings it to them and is fun to play with

Snow much fun!

This made a lot more snow than I envisioned it would. We really enjoyed watching and waiting for it to dehydrate and then making snow all over again!

Worked Great!

I used this product to do a children's time for our churches pre-school based on one of Jesus' parables. It worked great and the kids loved it!

WOW!

After buying the imitation at one of the stores and being very disapointed and after receiving an our ordered products from here and liking them, I decided to go to our local store and buying steve spangler Insta snow! It was amazing. The kids at the party LOVED it. Many of them said it was their favorite. I still have a cup sitting in my kitchen that I play with. I will probably have to buy a bigger container soon.

In south Louisiana we call this stuff Feaux Sneaux. The kids absolutely love this stuff. I used it for a VBS activity. I put 1/2 tablespoon in one of those little togo ramekins you get sauces in at resturants and the kids added about 40mL of water and were amazed. The great thing about the togo ramekins is they came with lids so the kids got to take their snow home. They liked that part the best. Thanks for making this scientific polymer so readily avaliable.

Dear Steve,

My name is Mike AKA Dr. Electro Mad Doctor of Science. I have been performing as a "Mad Scientist" at children's parties here in NJ for the last five years. Thanks to your products it has made my show a big hit. I use your ASAP, instant snow, airzooka (and the megazooka) and worm goo. needless to say the kids love it when I do the instant worm experiment. I use it towards the end of the show when I start to explain polymers. They especially like it when I tell them they can take a piece of it home. When people ask were I get all my cool experiments I tell them to look up Steve Spangler on line and go to his web site. SO many, many thanks for your products and videos. I really enjoy watching the you tube videos. Please let me know if you will be traveling to the NY/NJ area with your workshop I would love to attend one.

Thanks again
Mike

Insta-Snow

We used this at my son's 9th birthday party, since we were having it at an ice-rink and our theme was penguins. It was a HUGE hit. The kids loved making it themselves and "oooohs" and "aaahhhhs" were heard each time someone made theirs. We made it in a plastic swimming pool, and I brought different things like filters and funnels for them to use when it was all made. At the end of the party, I put it into little baggies for them to take home and use again. I highly recommend this product to add pizazz to any occasion. I teach college students, and intend to tell them about your website! If I still taught first grade, you can be we'd be making snow in the classroom as well. :)

This product has accounted for many reactions including "ooohhh's" and "aha's". The children I work with enjoy the following:1.) watching the snow grow, 2.) feeling the snow with their hands. and 3.) watching the snow change color as we add liquid food coloring to the snow. I am cautious not to let the children touch the snow after the food coloring is added. This is due to the fact that the coloring will stick to the child's hand.

So much fun!

I attended the NAEYC convention in Washington, D.C. this past November which is where I was first introduced to the wonderful world of Steve Spangler. While there, I of course had to try out the bed of nails. AWESOME! But right beside the bed of nails was the display for the Insta-Snow. I couldn't believe it. I just had to get some. And today was the day that we finally tried it with our preschoolers(supervised, of course, because you never know what is going to make it into their mouths!) They were thrilled! They were amazed! They wanted more!! And we had just spent two weeks playing with "real snow" in our water tub. But this time, thanks to Steve, they actually made snow. We now have all the staff in the school excited about your "snow". Everyone wants to try it. Just wanted to say thanks for an awesome product and I look forward to trying many more. Cindy Pulfer

Snow in Florida!

Wow!! What fun!! My students loved this!! We had a holiday block party the day before winter vacation and in science class, we decided to make it snow in South Florida. The looks on their faces and the amazement in their eyes was priceless. I had them guess what the mystery powder was and I got everything - salt, sugar, baking soda. Then once they mixed it with water, poof...it's a hit!! Thank you for all the fun this website has brought to my class this year.

Living in SoCal the chances of a white Christmas are pretty slim, I put this stuff down around my front door for my annual Christmas party (making sure to leave a wide path clear for people to walk as it can get slippery!) and people go crazy over it.

Amazing Stuff

This is as real as you can get when it comes to Instant Snow!! All of the children at my daycare love this stuff in the sensory table, and I have put this stuff in balloons to make a squishy ball. This is the best stuff that you can get and is worth every single penny.

Kids were amazed

This was one of the experiments that the kids had fun with at my child's birthday party. We placed a scoop of snow powder into each small bowl, had the kids color their cup of water with color tablets and pour the colored water into the snow powder to make colored snow. The kids were amazed at how fast it grew and wanted to add more water until their bowls were full of "snow". They also loved putting their hands into the "snow".
