How long does fake snow last

The longevity of fake snow can vary depending on how it’s stored and handled. If used indoors in a controlled environment away from moisture, direct sunlight, and excessive heat, fake snow can last for weeks or even months without significant degradation.

For sensory bins or play areas, it’s recommended to replace the fake snow periodically, especially if it becomes dirty or starts to clump together. With proper care and maintenance, you can prolong the lifespan of fake snow and continue to enjoy its magical properties for an extended period.

Recipe notes: If the mixture is too wet add a small amount of baking soda. Do it a little at a time and work it in before you add more to see if it’s needed. If the mixture is too dry add a small amount of conditioner, slowly working it in the same way.
