If you are looking for something fun to try in to snow tonight, this can be very effective. Please ask your family if they are happy for you to try this and, perhaps, to give you a hand first!
Make a ‘cave’ of snowballs, building them up in a circle like an igloo. Before you put the upper ones on, light a nightlight candle and place it inside. Be careful as you put the upper ones on that you don’t hurt yourself on the flame – you may want an adult to help you with this part.
We have also tried putting colouring into the snow so that you get a colourful glowing lamp (although the plain snow ones are still good). The light just glows out of the cracks and you’ll be surprised how long they last!
You can also be more ambitious (like the one on the right) by creating a smoothed surface from your snowballs and putting a pattern of holes (carefully!) into it for the light to glow from.
