Instant snow...

Unless you live in a place where there is snow all around you right now, wouldn't it be fun to make some snow in the warmth of your home and play with it without it melting away?

This "instant snow" comes in a powder format.  Just add water to it and it almost instantaneously expands upto 100 times its original volume.  It is spectacular to watch it puff up.  It feels like real snow to touch and you can dry it up and make it puff again and again...You can't eat or make snow cones with it unfortunately.

What is "Instant snow"? - Its a super absorbent polymer called sodium polyacrylate.  You find this in baby diapers!!  yes, you can open up the baby diapers (before they are used ofcourse) and get the powder out and use it as instant snow too....  or you can order it from various sites including Amazon and try it out.
