Kid’s Winter Activities for Families that Live Where it Snows

There are many fun and engaging activities that you can do with children during the
winter season. Here are some ideas:

  • Go ice skating: Take your children to a local ice-skating rink and spend the day gliding on the ice. It’s a great way to stay active and have fun.
  • Build a snowman: If you live in an area where it snows, building a snowman can be a fun and creative activity for children. You can also have a snowball fight or make snow angels.
  • Bake winter treats: Spend a day in the kitchen with your children and bake some delicious winter treats such as gingerbread cookies or hot cocoa.
  • Decorate the house: Get your children involved in decorating the house for the winter season. You can hang up lights, make snowflake decorations, or put up a winter-themed wreath.
  • Have a movie day: Spend a cozy day inside with your children and have a movie day. You can watch classic winter movies like “Home Alone,” “Frozen,” or “The Polar Express.”
  • Go on a winter nature walk: Bundle up and take a nature walk with your children. You can look for animal tracks in the snow, collect pinecones, or just enjoy the winter scenery.
  • Make winter crafts: Get creative with your children and make winter-themed crafts such as paper snowflakes, snow globes, or pinecone bird feeders.
  • Read winter-themed books: Curl up with your children and read some winter- themed books. Some popular titles include “The Snowy Day,” “The Mitten,” and “The Snow Queen.”

These are just a few ideas to get you started. With a little creativity, there are endless
possibilities for winter activities to enjoy with your children.
