Windy Days – March is known for its windy days. It would be a great day to fly a kite

 

Sidewalk Chalk– Take advantage of a mild day and head outside to draw on the sidewalk with chalk. Kids love to have their whole body outlined and then fill in the drawing with clothes and a face. If you still have ice or snow outside try white or colored chalk inside on construction paper or brown wrapping paper. The drawings can be made permanent, so they won’t rub off, by spraying with aerosol hair spray (best to spray outside, and certainly away from the children).

Snowballs in the Kitchen
In most parts of the US the snow has disappeared, but you can cook ‘snowballs’ in the kitchen.
Ingredients
1 3-oz bag of natural microwave popcorn
2 12-oz bags of white chocolate chips
1 1/4oz container of white cake sparkles (edible glitter)
Prepare popcorn as directed on the package (do not let children open the bag as the steam can burn). Cool completely and remove any unpopped kernels. Melt the white chocolate chips as directed on the package. Carefully pour the melted chocolate over the popcorn, stirring gently until the popcorn is coated. Gently but firmly mold the coated popcorn into snowball shapes. Set on wax paper and sprinkle with edible glitter.  Enjoy!
