Magic Snow – 50 ml

Magic Snow is a highly absorbent, completely non‑toxic form of polyacrylamide with similar properties to hydrogel but with one impressive difference—it expands extremely rapidly when exposed to water, forming a realistic, fluffy, snow‑like material within seconds.

Commonly used on TV and film sets to create high‑pressure artificial snow effects, this material multiplies many times its own volume, making it ideal for demonstrations, experiments, and creative STEM activities. When injected into a jet of high‑pressure water, it instantly transforms into the dramatic “set snow” used in visual productions.

In the classroom, Magic Snow is perfect for investigations into absorption, polymers, material science and water retention. It is also excellent as a raw material for pupil‑designed snow machines and engineering challenges.

A small amount goes a very long way—just a large handful of powder can produce a bucketful of snow. The material is re‑usable once dried.

Key Features

• Made from non‑toxic polyacrylamide
• Expands rapidly on contact with water
• Creates realistic snow‑like material within seconds
• Used in film, TV and theatrical snow effects
• Excellent for STEM experiments and creative engineering tasks
• Re‑usable after drying
• A small quantity makes a surprisingly large volume of snow

Ideal for School Science Lessons

Magic Snow is perfect for KS2, KS3 and GCSE science and supports engaging investigations into:

• Absorbent polymers and how they behave
• Comparing water absorption of different materials
• Material expansion and volume ratios
• Designing and testing snow‑making devices
• Exploring real‑world applications used in media and horticulture

Easy to use, safe and visually impressive, Magic Snow brings polymer science to life in the classroom through hands‑on, high‑impact demonstrations.
