Classic Snow Fun for Toddlers and Preschoolers

When going to the snow with your children, make sure they have the proper snow gear. If cost is an issue, ask around to see if there is a suit or boots you can borrow--most parents want to see their little used snow gear put to good use. Another option is to check your local sporting goods store or ski rental shop for snow boots and overalls that you can rent.

1. Sledding Make sure your sled has a cord for pulling or a place to tie one. If your child is timid flying high speed down hill, you may want to pull your child behind you until he/she is more comfortable. Or make sure your sled is large enough for you to go down with your child.

2. Snow Family Make large, medium, and small snow people that correspond to the sizes of your family.

3. Snow Angels Help your little ones up so they can see their perfect snow creations.

What other snow traditions does your family have?
