--paper snowflakes
--make your own thermometers (glass jar, straw....you know this one?)
--animal insulation comparison (Ziplocs of feathers, fur, fat (Crisco)...plunged into bowl of ice. We call it "Keep the Heat")
--display about what animals do in winter (hibernate, migrate, stay put...)
--a display featuring your staff and what they like to do in winter (although being in Texas, you probably don't have quite as many skiers, snowshoers and the like...)
I'd suggest painting the snow but, again, you're in Texas.
good luck!

Snow polymer is always great! You can have it on a cart or table as they pass by you waiting in line!

Good afternoon, all.
Our staff is looking forward to planning some quick wintry activities prior to viewing the film Polar Express.
What activities have you all found to be successful for guests who will be with us for a short period of time, say 5-10 minutes.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Anne
