“How would you like to try something new in the snow?” Daniel and his friend Josephine couldn’t wait to get outside!
I gave them each a bottle of Snow Colour and told them to have fun decorating the yard.
THROW A RAINBOW: Although the saying says “not to eat yellow snow,” no one said you can’t throw it. This winter, your kids can create a technicoloured Frosty with the help of NOUWEE Snow Colour – vibrant, kid-safe pigment perfect for snowmen and snowballs.
Watch how:
The Snow Colour jars are built much like a spice jar: one side is a shaker, and the other has a larger hole for a spoon, or making bigger, dumps of colour.
When you open the box, on the inside are 2 winter cutouts: a tree and a snowflake.
I cut these out, and the kids did use them a few times,
but had much more fun just colouring the yard.
Snow Colour kept the kids busy for a good part of the afternoon, and we were able to enjoy their designs until the snow melted!
• Mixed Colours • Box Contents: 3 X 100g of different snow colour + 2 stencil ideas • Non-toxic, biodegradable, and 100% natural
WARNING: May contain more pleasure than planned, and may stain your lives, clothing, and objects. The suggested age to use this product is of 8 years or over.
Snow Colour would be a fun addition to a winter party, or just for an afternoon treat.

These days there is a big emphasis on teaching our kids how to think beyond themselves and help others.
According to the article, many parents find that the earlier they introduce their children to charitable giving and volunteering, the more likely kids are to embrace these efforts, both immediately and as adults.
One of the suggestions the article recommended is to choose age-appropriate tasks for kids.
“Young children do not have a lot of money, so try to find charitable tasks that allow them to donate their time and skills. Kids can help make cookies for bake sales or participate in food drives in front of grocery stores for certain charities.”
Kids love to bake and this is an easy task for them to get involved with.
Take my son Daniel (nine-years-old) for instance. He loves to bake and does so at every chance.
Then, a few months later, he raised money to support the Western Screech Owl through the Earth Rangers program.
He went door-to-door and took cookie orders from the neighbours. He came home and baked them, then delivered them, and met his fundraising goal. He was so proud of himself!
This year, with the WE BAKE FOR CHANGE Campaign, WE day and Robin Hood® want to take a fun family activity and take it even further by asking families to hold bake sales to raise funds for Free The Children.
The funds raised will contribute to positive change, supporting families globally. Talk about the icing on the cake!
What is Free the Children?
Turns out, my kids were already familiar with Free the Children, saying,
“We go to the movies every year on We Day, and I bought a bead bracelet!”
Free The Children empowers international change by making it possible for YOU to change the world.
Here’s how your kids can easily make a difference: Host your own WE BAKE FOR CHANGE bake sale! Sign up here
In its first year of partnership, Robin Hood and We Bake for Change was able to truly ‘bake a difference’, inspiring 700,000 students across Canada to host bake sales that raised funds for local and global causes. In the 2014 and 2015 school years over 2,200 schools hosted bake sales and raised over $330,000 for development projects in seven countries!
There are checklists, tags, signs, price lists, helpful tips and just about everything else you will need to get you started. And, don’t forget the recipes!
Although we are celebrating We Bake for Change throughout the month of February, you can host a bake sale any time of the year—even several times! It’s a great way for kids to learn first-hand, not only how to bake, but how they can personally help change the world.
Are you in the Greater Toronto Area? Head to THE ROBIN HOOD GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ ATTEMPT FOR LARGEST COOKIE MOSAIC on February 15th.
Robin Hood will be at Evergreen Brick Works on Family Day to build a cookie mosaic that will resemble a map of the world and showcase the parts of the world where We Bake for Change has made a difference.
In creating this cookie mosaic the Robin Hood team will attempt to break the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for the largest cookie mosaic. Once complete, this cookie will be approx. 30 feet by 48 feet or a whopping 1,440 square feet, and will be comprised of over 13,000 individual shortbread cookies measuring 3 x 3 inches each. This cookie will also be completely edible and delicious, so once done, the Robin Hood team members will be giving away these delicious shortbread cookies for families to take home and enjoy.
That day, Robin Hood and WE Day are also hosting the We Bake for Change ME to WE Trip Giveaway for a lucky winner and his/her guest to have the once-in-a-lifetime volunteer adventure experience to join a Free the Children mission to India for seven days—the trip is valued at approx. $17,000 CAD! Changing the world is a piece of cake!
This post has been brought to you by Robin Hood but the opinions and images are my own.
