Snow Days are Fun Days!

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday with friends and family.  I know I enjoyed some "unplugging" time after finishing up all my handmade goodies.  The only thing that can make this time of year even more magical is....


SNOW!

We were hit with a snowstorm yesterday which left 7 inches of this pretty stuff at my house! Kids are out making snowmen and snow forts and my dogs are having a blast romping in the white stuff.  You can tell that although the snow hit the day after Christmas, everyone is still in the holiday spirit and thoroughly enjoying the snow.

Before I head out to shovel, again, I though I'd share some fun winter break/snow activities to do with you kids.





Here are some great games to play in the snow from Parents





Here are some yummy "snow" goodness!

How about making some maple snow candy?

I've never heard of snow muffins.  Have you?


I've never made snow ice cream before but I definitely NEED to!  Here are 2 recipes for you.




Once you go inside and have a nice piping hot cup of cocoa, you'll be jazzed for more fun.  Here's some great indoor ideas for you!

Aren't these borax snowflakes cool?

How about making a snow ruler so you can track just how much snow's in your back yard?


Try out some melting snow art.

I never would have thought to bring the snow inside.

And finally, if you don't have snow at your home but are longing for some, try making some winter windows.

Okay, I've really got to go out and shovel.  Stay warm and have fun!

4 You
