Snow Days and Stuck inside the Home
Snow days are the best when you have fun activities to do!
Winter is a great way to get the kids and the family together when school is canceled or there is a huge snowstorm brewing outside. Many kids love when it’s a snow day due to the fact that they don’t have to get out of bed and go to school. There are many different activities that children and teens can do on a snow day that can take away the boredom when at home stuck inside the house.
If you’re like me and live in a area where you can get at least 2 inches of snow than planning for a snow day with your child will be easy peasy. Check out these snow day box ideas activities that you can do at home with your child today.
Outdoor Activities
The first activity that yor ou can pull from your snow day box idea is an outdoor snow activity. Building a snowman can be a fun exciting thing to do on a snow day. Try turning this simple activity into a family contest where you have to work in teams.
Be sure to get out the the shovels, hats, gloves, buttons, and any other tools that you made to make your snowman stand our from everyone else’s.
Make a Snow Day Box
Making a snow day box is something that is very simple. Just think of a subscription box but for on a snow day where you put cool snow related items inside a carboard box and chose from a list of things to do.
Snow Forts, Snow Walls…Snow Ball Fights!
Why not go outside and start a small ball fight contest. This will surely get your heart racing and pumping and the kids excited about going outside.
Snow fights and snow forts have been the go to for snow days even when I was a child. These are great for building up your child’s fine motor and gross motor skills when building the snow forts for the fights.
Making Snowman Cookies
Making snowman cookies are a great way to get the family together and in the kitchen cooking. Making cookies is something that is special that is just something that feels and warms my heart. Getting your child in the practice of making cookies is an excelling way to build up their cooking skills.
Castles in the Snow
Just like at the beach and making sandcastles you can make snow castles outside in your backyard. This is a fun activity that you can do at home because you will be using engineering and math skills to construct a snow castle.
Snow day Movie Time
Have you see the movie SNOW DAY? Every year I always watch this movie and still laugh out loud to what’s happening in the story. Try wrapping up in a weighted blanket on the couch with some nice hot coco and cookies to watch a snow related movie.
Busy Winter Activity Book
Keeping your child busy through a off school day due to snow can be very challenging. But with a winter busy workbook and winter activity book can be a great way to keep your child’s mind stimulated and also keep them learning on their day off.
Indoor Activities
After being outside for a long period of time your child will want to come in and get all warmed up by the fireplace to take off their wet boots, clothes, gloves, pants, and hat. Once inside you will want to grab out of the closet some things for them to do inside the house.
Here are some indoor activities that will help you get started at home
