Better than many other instant powders I've used. I put it on my sensory table in prep class and it was a huge hit and a great addition to our arctic animal squad. HOWEVER - does not last more than a day or two. After the second day, the amount of snow was noticeably less than at the beginning, even with spraying to "reactivate" the snow. Even worse was the SMELL. Like something died in my touch table. Very disappointing. Otherwise I love this stuff and will be using it again next year.
