10 Awesome Snow Day Activities


1.     Enjoy the Snow!
I think the first thing you should do on a snow day is embrace the white stuff! Make snowmen, snow angels, snow forts, and maybe even enlist the kiddo’s to help shovel the sidewalk!
2.     Fun and Games
Break out your kids favorite games! I like to start off with old fashion board games or card games like UNO to involve the whole family. If the parents need a break, there’s no shame it letting the kids play their video games, just try to mix it up so they don’t turn into snow zombies!
3.     Hot Coco
We all know instant coco hits the spot on a cold winter day. But if you haven’t tried homemade, this might be the perfect time! Find the recipe here: https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/homemade-hot-cocoa/

4.     Baking
If you wanted to get the kids involved in baking but haven’t found the time or energy, a snow day might be the perfect opportunity. Pick a recipe that everyone will love and get baking!

5.     Finger-paint
                  This is a tried and true classic and one I remember doing with my mother on snow days. It’s a                  great excuse for the kids to get messy and be creative! Find the recipe and instructions here:                https://herviewfromhome.com/her-pinspiration-finger-paint/
6.     Coloring Printables

There are so many coloring pages that can be printed out online. Let your kids each choose and theme, provide them with crayons or coloring pencils and get coloring! Alternatively, if your children are older or more artistically inclined, have them free-draw a snow day scene.

7.     Reading Time
Snow days are often quiet and often confined to our homes. So pick a good book from your library, cozy up and enjoy and day or relaxation and imagination. If you’re looking for a children’s books about a snow day there are many but my personal favorite is Ezra Jack Keats’, The Snowy Day.

8.     Homemade Snowflakes
                  This is such an easy and fun D.I.Y. decoration. If you have coffee filters lying around these can be           used for an even easier design. Just fold them in half and then half one more time. Then simply           cut out shapes and your well on your way to a beautiful snowflake!

9.     Jumpstart Valentines or Easter Cards/Gifts
A snow day in the middle of January might be the perfect time to start thinking D.I.Y. cards or gifts for the special people in your life. Do some of your own research to get ideas or just go for it! A homemade gift always means so much.

10.  Have A Living Room Campout
As a kid I loved building forts. Tree forts, snow forts, pillow forts, you name it. With the craziness of our modern lives sometimes we need some good old fashioned fun! If you want to do a living room campout, pretend you’re actually camping. Break out the flashlights, toast some marshmallows in the oven, and blow up those sleeping pads!
