Snow Day Ideas for Kids

| loved this creation using “snow paint” |

Got snow? If you live in the Northeast, you will be getting a lot of it – very soon. If you trust the weather forecast, we may get up to a foot of snow. I’m expecting both my children to be home from school on Tuesday and I’m planning ahead. I want to keep them entertained with a good balance of indoor and outdoor activities. The good news is that it is not going to be bitterly cold which means that it is ideal for playing outside!

We have a small hill in our backyard, it is not very steep, but it does the job. What we love about our little hill, is that it is loooooong. It makes for a good ride on a flexible flyer! In addition to sledding, I’m going to surprise my kiddos with bottles of water colored with food coloring. I’m going to send them outside to build whatever snow creation they want and let them spray paint them with snow paint.
