Fake snow

It's christmas! The time to be jolly, happy, and...scientific? We do live in Arizona, so we need some form of snow, obviously not natural. Luckily, we have science! Chemistry shows us that artificial snow can be made easily. Here's how: find some sodium polyacrylate (commonly found in diapers, or as crystals in a gardening center). Once you have a good amount, mix it with some water. Add as much water as you want and keep mixing until it is "slushy" enough for you. If you want a realistic "cold" snow, you can refrigerate or freeze it, as it will be only slightly cold alone. Let it snow! In Arizona!
