The weatherman is saying snow again. Now if you live in New England, like me, you know the weather can be unpredictable. Saying it is going to snow could as well mean a hurricane could be coming our way! Maybe it is just an extremely cold or windy winter day. Regardless, here are some fun things to do with your little one (Some may be age permitting).
1. Bake-a-thon: A fun way to stay toasty and make the house smell good on a cold day. Cookies, brownies, or anything you like!
2.Snow Spray Paint: A fun way for the kids to get artsy and out of the house. Get some spray bottles (you can find some cheap at the dollar store or Walmart) and mix food coloring and water.
3. Bird Feeders: Help the birds get some grub in the cold winter time. Spread peanut butter on a pine cone, roll in bird seed, add a string and hang on a tree.
4. Tie Dye Crayons: Take the paper off of the crayons you would like to use. Put the crayons you want to mix together in a dixie cup. One cup we put different shades of pinks, another cup we did primary colors. You can get creative and put what ever colors you or your little one would like. Then put them in the microwave. I recommend 20 seconds at a time. You can take a toothpick and swirl them around to make cool looking patterns. Let them cool then pop them out of the cup.
-Bonus: If you want to make shapes; place metal cookie cutters down in a pan lined with wax paper. Poor liquid wax into cookie cutters to mold the shape. Pop them in the freezer.
5. Make A Snow Book: Make a snow related story/book with your little one. You can read it to them on future snow days!
