Chances are good that we will see some snowy weather in the coming weeks and months. It’s a good idea to have ideas ready to keep the kids entertained on a snow day (when they are home from school for winter weather.)

Here is a simple snow day game plan…

• Play in the snow.  Pro Tip:  Remind your kids go to the bathroom before you get them all bundled up to go outside. 

• Come inside and warm up with hot chocolate (don’t forget the marshmallows.) Pro Tip: Shake the snow off of the kids boots and snow clothes. Hang them up to dry or put them in the dryer, so they are ready for round 2 out in the snow. 
• Make your own play dough.

• Play board games and/or legos together.
• Play in the snow again.

• Warm up inside and make paper snowflakes.

• Bake cookies together or make some other fun recipe.
• Make a blanket fort.

Stay warm & have fun!
