Whether we like it or not it eventually snows!
Here are 10 things to do in the snow:
1. Go sledding! Get a sled, make a sled out of cardboard, and just go!
2. Build a snowman. Roll some balls, big or small. Build a snowman together. Find rocks for eyes, twigs for arms, and wrap him up warm with a hat and scarf!
3. Have a snowball fight! Show the kids how to make a snowball. Play a snow ball target practice game. Set up something to throw at and let the kids get some practice in throwing!
4. Build a snow fort. Pack the walls together to build a safe place for hiding out! We found a brick mold builder on Amazon that the boys use to play in the sandbox and for snow!
5. While you’re out shoveling the driveway or sidewalk, let the kids help! Or have them make their own paths… maybe a snow maze!
6. Stomp through the snow and make footprints!
7. Instead of making your own footprints, look for animal prints! Can you find rabbit prints? Squirrels? Deer? Discover what’s in your backyard! Not sure? Take pictures of the animal tracks and look them up together later.
8. Get creative outside playing in the cold snow! Paint the snow! Make it colorful!
9. After a fresh snowfall, go lay out in it and make some snow angels together. Play along and make a whole snow angel family!
10. And, this one will surely be a hit with my boys: Load. Dump. Scoop. Pour. Do it in the snow!
Turn it inside and google to see what fun indoor activities you can do on a snow day when kids are home from school.
