Snowflake salt painting is the perfect winter craft for any age! With just a few supplies, you can turn a plain canvas into a winter masterpiece that features colored salt that looks like snow.

Our DIY Snowball Toss Game is the perfect Frozen party game to pair with this craft!
Use a pencil to very lightly draw snowflakes on a canvas. Use your creativity and draw them in different sizes and shapes! You can also draw snow and snowballs, snowy mountains, and even Olaf dancing in the snow!
Use the glue bottle to trace over the pencil lines with glue. Make sure to apply glue to each pencil mark on the canvas.
Now it's time to add the "snow" effect." Sprinkle salt over the entire canvas, making sure that every spot with glue is fully covered with salt.
Gently turn the canvas sideways to remove the excess salt to reveal your icy snowflakes.
Pour some teal and blue liquid watercolor paint into the different openings of a paint palette.
Dip a paintbrush in the desired color to load a small amount of paint on the brush. Lightly touch the brush to one of the snowflakes and watch the color spread across parts of the snowflake. Repeat so that the entire snowflake is colored. You can choose to leave some areas without paint to make them look like clear, sparkly ice and snow. Experiment with different colors for an icy snowflake painting, perfect for any Elsa and Frozen fan!
Let the canvas dry then hang or display in a bedroom or as a lovely winter decoration. These snowflake ice paintings also make great decorations for a Winter Princess Birthday Party! See how to make your own Sparkling Tree Centerpieces and set up a fun DIY Snowball Toss Game for party guests too!
