We all love a good snow day but after a couple of hours, we get bored. On these types of days, the kids are tugging on my shirt for more activities to do. I think I’m pretty good at creating fun experiences for the kids but sometimes even I can use some inspiration. During the winter months I will NOT be caught off guard twiddling my thumbs so I’ve come up with 15 fun activities to do on a snow day or anytime during the winter months! The best part about it is that you don’t have to buy anything to take full advantage of these activities. Yes, the kids will love them and so will parents ;).
