Introduction: Igloo

Supplies

1) Snow

2) Shovel

3) Rectangle container. Easier if you have about 10 containers. Make sure they are all the same size.

Clear out a circular spot where your igloo will go.

Step 1: Fill Container

Fill the container with snow. Compact it in.

Step 2: Start by Laying the Horseshoe Shape With the Filled Snow Container.

Start by laying the horseshoe shape with the filled snow container Then start brick layering the second layer on top of that. Move it towards the center approximately 1/4 the size of your block.

Step 3: Continue Brick Layering

Continue brick layering until you put the last one on top. We sprayed some of it with red food coloring for fun. This took us a total of 3 days to build. I would say this is once in a lifetime igloo for me. I was alot of work. We put a air mattress in with blankets and hung out for the rest of the day. It was warmer inside then it was outside for sure.

Step 4: Melting Away

We were sad to see it go.
