I still eat snow when it's new nice and clean looking. Why wouldn't I let my kids? Not that is snows very often in So Cal.

Re: Do you let your kids eat snow?

The only reason I avoid the snow eating is the HUGE number of dogs that do their business on our side/front yard, and the rabbit/cat droppings that are scattered throughout our hedged-in backyard. Otherwise I wouldn't care, but my 1 & 2yr olds just aren't old enough/aware enough to notice if they scoop something gross in a mouthful. ![]()

Re: Do you let your kids eat snow?
Did you read the link provided by Joyful Tie Dyes? It isn't a big deal if kids eat snow.
![]() Taken from the link: The amount of bacteria in snow is comparable to the amount of bacteria children are exposed to when they play in dirt. Making a meal out of snow exposes you to excessive bacteria and potential hazards. Consumed in large quantities, snow can drop your core body temperature. Snow caught from the sky should not harm a child. Even fresh snow cones or other snow treats should not be harmful if, like other desserts, they are enjoyed in moderation.

Re: Do you let your kids eat snow?
Depends. When we go to upstate NY where the fresh snow is 5 ft. deep and untouched way out in the country where I'm from. Sure. When we get a couple of inches in our NC yard where our dog and chickens wander. No way!

I discourage it if I can, however what they do at school is out of my control.
