In our family, snow days feel like mini-holidays. However, when cabin fever sets in, a few fun activities can help break up the monotony.

Below are links to posts I have written about our favorite winter activities:

• Fort Building My children would do this for hours and hours.

• Make Snow Cream My pre-teen still requests this.

• A miscellaneous assortment of free winter activities

• Snow Paint – This was a favorite!

• Homemade play dough – This is a no-cook recipe that uses basic ingredients. No cream of tarter or powdered milk here.

• Peanut Butter Play Dough – This one does require powdered milk, but still no cooking. It is quite tasty!

• This is not necessarily an activity, but consider collecting some snow into a freezer safe bowl. Bring out in the heat of the summer and have a snowball fight! (Watch out, sometimes it freezes a little too hard for throwing at people.)

Most of all, be creative and enjoy!
