Even if you decide to go with only one recipe right away, start with a small batch. Snow comes in all sorts of consistencies, from dry and powdery to wet and mushy, so there’s no precise measurements that you need to follow. Start small so you can figure out the ratio of baking soda to other ingredients that works best for you personally.

At the same time, keep a close eye on young children who have a habit of putting things in their mouths. Instruct all young children not to consume it.

Baking soda snow isn’t advisable for very young kids who still have a habit of putting things in their mouths, especially if you’re using shaving cream or hair conditioner as a wet ingredient.

With the exception of shaving foam, all of them are commonly used as cleaners, so there’s really no stress if a big mess was made.
