For most children, winter is a magical time of the year that embodies the atmosphere of a New Year's fairy tale. You can make this fairy tale come true by building a real snow town for children, games in which will delight not only children of all ages, but also adults. Creating a snow town is an exciting creative work to which you can connect your friends, and in which you can fully embody your most unusual ideas. How to build a snow town and where to start building?
Instructions
Step 1
Think over the theme of the town - it can be completely devoted to Russian fairy tales or popular cartoons. Come up with sketches of snow buildings - they are needed to create wooden frames that you will fill with snow. When the snow cover at the beginning of winter is stable enough, you can start building.
Step 2
Take plywood or chipboard panels that are larger than the size of the planned buildings and screw them tightly together. Make sure that the fasteners between the wooden boards are strong enough to withstand the pressure of the snow mass. Shield structures should be hollow on top.
Step 3
After manufacturing, all structures are filled with a snow mass, which is compacted tightly, and as a result, it allows you to get a good dense snow cube that can be used to build a town.
Step 4
Remove the wood frames after a few days - during this time, the snow has time to compress, and you can start working on the shape of the cubes.
Step 5
Start shaping the snow as intended - use scrapers, spatulas, spatulas, hacksaws, saws, and more. After giving the necessary shape to the snow blocks, cover them with a special "dough" made of snow, which will strengthen the structure, make it strong and durable.
Step 6
To make such a snow mass, take a bucket filled to the middle with water and fill it up to the top with clean dry snow. Stir the mixture and start covering your snow figures with it. With the help of a wet snow mass, you can also fasten different elements from snow - freezing, the mass glues the parts together with high quality.
Step 7
When building a snow town, make sure that your designs are completely safe for children - all corners should be rounded, the figures should not have sharp protrusions, and they should also be strong enough to support the weight of several children.
Step 8
No snow town can be called such without snow slides for skiing. Make two slides in your town - a smaller one for toddlers and a larger one for older children. On the sides of the snow embankment for the slide, temporarily install wooden shields to make the edges of the slide even, and on the sides of the ice slope, install protective curbs.
Step 9
To decorate white snow figures, cut out appliqués from colored fabric and moisten them with water and apply to slides, houses and playgrounds. Decorate the figures with fringes, flags, tinsel, Christmas decorations. Fence a snowy town with a bright border and a winter playground for children is ready.
