Cold, wet and rainy days usually mean we head for cover and warmth indoors, but snow is a different story. Snow , for the most part, is greeted with excitement and anticipation. With winter well on it’s way, I thought I’d jot down a few ideas to keep you and your little ones occupied and entertained through the snowy days ahead. This article includes activities to do indoors and out when the snow is about.
Snowy Day Activities
- Make a Snowstorm in a jar
- Make a paper plate snowman
- Make a snowy day book
- Mix food colouring and water and put into squirty bottles, spray pictures on the snow
- Fill balloons with coloured water, tie closed and leave out over night or til frozen, cut the balloon off and you are left with coloured balls of ice to decorate your garden
- Make birdie snacks
- Build an upside down snowman (just for a change)
- Make your own hot chocolate and hot chocolate bar with marshmallows and other yummy extras.
- Cut out paper doily snowflakes
- Make yummy edible magical melting snowballs
Have a look at the links for more information and “how tos”. Please get in touch if you decide to make one of the things I’ve suggested. I’d love to know how you got on.
