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!
Those are all great ideas, Ganz! Plus, the two best parts are that today is a snow day at my school and there’s a lot of good snow outside, at least somewhere around 1 or 3 inches of it!
I like all those ideas. They all sound so fun. Here is sometheing else that you can try is that you could have a snow ball fight with your friends. Built a fort (so you can protect yourself), make some snow balls throw them
8. Celebrate my birthday! XD
I SSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LOVE ALL THESE IDEAS! I live in Texas, so no ice scatting or hockey, much less enough snow to build five snowmen or a snowcastle, but my sister and I have tons of Land O’ Lakes hot cocoa packets in flavors such as raspberry, gram cracker, french vanilla, tirameeso (tirameeso is a french or italian dessert soacked in coffee, WAY AWESOME FLAVOR IN HOT COCOA!!!) etc. soooo fun! THANK YOU GANZ!!!!!!!!!
Good ideas!
Thank you for the ideas, Ganz! Two of the best parts about this is that I’m having a snow day so I’ll have plenty of time to play in snow, AND the other part is that I think the snow out there is perfect for playing in, at least 1-2 inches, maybe even 3 inches!
I love the idea of camping indoors i amgoing to do that with my webkinz. Also an idea take an adventure outside. If you are going to take our webkinz outside put doll or webkinz clothes on it. To make sure your webkinz doesn’t get wet put it in an old hat.
lets do ALL of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i think some things are fun!
im definitely doing ALL of these!
