Sometimes it feels like winter will go on forever and the warm weather will never return! Fear not, spring isn’t TOO far away…and winter days can also be LOTS of fun! Here are some wonderful wintry ideas:
1. Get outside and play!
a. Have a snowman making contest.
b. Paint in the snow with water and food coloring mixed together in a spray bottle.
c. Go sledding!
2. Have a hot chocolate taste test. Make up a regular batch of hot chocolate and then add other stuff – a chunk of white chocolate, a quarter teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg, a candy cane – anything that will make it taste a little different. Take a few sips and compare – see if you create a new taste sensation!
3. Play a sport! Hockey is great, and so is ice skating – anything that gets you outside and moving!
4. Have a winter dressing race – see who can put on all their outside gear fastest!
5. Build snow castles – somewhat like sand castles, but with snow!
6. Make ice cube sculptures – make a TON of ice cubes in your freezer (freeze colored water for extra fun). Take them outside and build something amazing. Your sculpture will remain as long as temperatures are low!
7. Camp – indoors! OK, so this isn’t so much about being outside, but it’s a great way to relax after a long day of playing. Just make a pillow-and-blanket fort in your living room and get ready to be cozy! Add some hot chocolate and you’ve got the perfect warm way to spend an afternoon!
I’ve tried all of them they are awsome. P.S. they are really,really cool
Cool! Camping indoors and making a pillow/blanket fort! ive done this with my friends at a sleepover! :D
