Alot of people view the snow as a terrible nusiance. I would have to agree if there is somewhere I have to be. I hate driving on snowy roads. But I also believe there are a lot of really great things about the snow. It slows us down a little. It makes us stop and think about what fun and different things we can come up with. We often are so focused on all the things we need to accomplish, like take back the library books, go to the bank, attend the lunch meeting, we forget about the fun we can create. So, instead of complaining about the next snow storm you hear coming, get excited, and start planning a memorable day with your children!
Here are some ideas to get you started:
- Build a snowman or snow fort together
- Make Grilled Cheese Sandwiches and cut them into shapes with cookie cutters
- Make Hot Cocoa, snuggle up under a blanket, and watch a movie together
- Make snow icecream!
- Have a snowball fight
- Go Sledding
- Create a comic strip together with pictures from your snowy day
- Read a book together by the fire
- Make snow angels
Recipe for Snow Icecream:
1 cup of milk (the creamier the better)
1 egg beaten well (before adding)
1/2 cup sugar
dash of salt
1 tsp. vanilla
(Mix together)
Add clean snow to desired consistency
*Food coloring can be added (before snow) for variety
