More Snowy Day Fun

These snow activities are great for kids of all ages.

Make Ice Blocks: Fill plastic cups and containers with water and freeze overnight. Run under warm water until the ice slips out. Let kids use the ice as blocks.

Build a Snow Fort: Help your kids build a walls of snow and pack down the floor so that it's solid. A fort is a great place to play with ice blocks.

Go for a hike in the snow: Keep an eye out for animal tracks and ask your kids who you think made them. Ask your kids how they think animals survive in the winter. What do they eat? How do they keep warm?

Roll a giant snowball: Start with a baseball sized snowball and show your kids how to roll it in the snow to make it grow larger. Stop occasionally to pat the snow down. See who can make the largest snowball.
