How are you spending the holidays?  We hope you’re surrounded with people you care about and are enjoying the season!

If you’re on a holiday break with the kids and need to figure out activities to keep them busy, take a look at the five ideas for this winter.  There are options for whether you’re enjoying the weather outside or trying stay warm inside:

1. Snowflakes: Create a craft table in the kitchen and cut out snowflakes with the kids that you hang around the house.  They can decorate them however they want; like adding glitter or drawing pictures.
2. Sledding: Make it a family affair and find a hill nearby that you can go sledding down.
3. Build a snowman: Grab an old scarf, a carrot, and some coal.  If you don’t have coal lying around the house, you can try using spare buttons or use Oreo cookies.
4. Craft a snowman: If you can’t go outside and build a snowman from snow, make it into a craft for the kids.  They can cut out the snowman and accessories to create their very own, special snowman!
5. Snow fort: If you’re outside, help the kids make their very own snow fort and/or house.  If you’re inside, make a fort with blankets and chairs.  You can read holiday stories and they can play with their new toys inside.
