mess I decided to try putting it in baking pans and tupperware and put the picnic blanket under the kids table for easy cleanup. \u00a0To my surprise they kept these activities very clean. \u00a0We tried painting the snow but that was not as near as big of a hit as playing with toys in the snow. \u00a0My son enjoyed using his trucks and my daughter liked having the Peppa Pig family build a snowman. \u00a0I highly recommend trying these!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.poohnuggets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_2809-e1504693496632.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\"
