Celebrating Snow Indoors

Here are some more tips on how to keep the kids entertained during these long snowy winter months:

Make an indoor Snowman

• Get some blue construction paper
• Have your child paint a snow man with glue
• Take table salt and sprinkle it on top of the glue
• Let is dry and create a snowman scene with crayons

Painting in the Snow

• Take an empty spray bottle
• Fill it with some water and add a few drops of food coloring
• Take the kids outside and let them spray the water on the snow

Snowflakes

• Get paper doilies
• Have your child doilies in half three times
• Using kid scissors cut small shapes along the folds.
• Open the doilies up and see the design you created


Mittens

• Trace your child’s hand on any color construction paper.
• Cut out their hand
• Next have your child decorate the mittens with glitter, crayons, left over fabric or what ever scrapes you have.
• Take a piece if yarn and connect your mittens together

Have fun and stay warm!
