Have you ever seen a snow lantern before? These little pyramids of snow and light are a common sight in Norway in the winter, but I have come to realise that they are not so common here in the UK. Snow is a rare sight here and I always try to make the most out of the precious snow days we get. On Sunday it snowed, beautiful big flakes and it settled just long enough to allow us a little bit of play time in the garden. Alma and I had a snow ball fight and then we made a lantern. If you would like to try make one, here’s how. Make snowballs. Quite a lot of snowballs. Place them in a circle and then start making a cone shape by placing new snowballs on top. Once you are about half way up, place a candle or a couple of tea lights inside and light them. Finish building the cone until it is closed. Sit back and watch the beautiful light display you have created! Perfect for making dark and cold nights feel a little less dark and cold.
