5 ideas for fun in the snow

Is the ground covered in snow? Are you looking for some outdoor fun? Here are five ideas that may inspire you.

1. Snow painting. Mix water and food coloring in plastic containers to make your paint. Use a paintbrush or pour the liquids into spray bottles to create snow art.

2. Frosted bubbles. On a very cold day, blow soap bubbles onto a branch, fence post or snow and watch them freeze. It’s beautiful!

3. Scavenger hunt. Make a list of items to collect outside like pinecones, rocks, twigs, feathers and dead leaves. If necessary, ask an adult to help you. Can you find everything around your house? How long does it take you?

4. Headless snowman. Make a snowman with only two snowballs. It should be about shoulder height.

Take turns standing behind it to make it look like the snowman has your head and arms. Don’t for- get to take silly photos!

5. Hide and seek. Hide and seek is fun, but it can get cold if you have to stay still for a long time. Instead, try having one person hide an object while everyone else races to try and find it.

Enjoy the joys of winter!
