Recently, we had a heavy snow in our area. At first, I wasn't sure what we were going to do with our day. Our snow day ended up being on a Saturday so my husband was home. It was a whole family event. This is the first winter in a house for our 3-year-old son so this was quite the adventure for him. Here are a list of outdoor and indoor activities to do.
We'll start with outdoor:
Before going outside, make sure you bundle up really well. I'm talking 2 pairs of socks, 2 pairs of pants, long-sleeved t-shirt, sweatshirt, coat, gloves, hat, etc.
1. Snow angels
2. Snowball fight
3. Make a snowman
We made snow angels and the bottom part of the snowman, went inside and did a couple activities, and then went back outside and finished our snowman and had a snowball fight. It's so cold outside that you don't want to spend too much time out there. Even if you feel fine, your child may get much colder much faster than you.
Indoor activities:
1. Make hot chocolate
2. Watch a movie
3. Make a fire (if you have a fireplace)
4. Make paper snowflakes
You can do some of these at the same time. We made a fire in our fireplace, made some hot chocolate, and then curled up on the couch with a comfy blanket sipping on hot chocolate and watching a movie.
Most importantly, just make sure you have fun with your kids!
What do you guys do on snow days?
