Easy Peasy Snow Day Activities to Do With Your Kiddos!

When the weather turns cold and snow covers the ground, it can feel tempting to stay bundled up inside all day. But some of the sweetest memories are made when you lean into the season…messy floors, cold noses, and all!

Snow Play (Keep It Simple)

You don’t need a full agenda to enjoy the snow.

Let your kids:

* Build a snowman (or a very abstract version of one)

* Make snow angels

* Collect snow in buckets or bowls

Snow Animal Tracks

A little imagination goes a long way.

Use toy animals, boots, or even hands to make tracks in the snow. Guess the animal or even better create a story about where they’re headed.

Snow Dough

A winter twist on playdough.

What you’ll need:

• Snow

• Cornstarch or flour

Mix until moldable and let kids shape snow animals, castles, or mini snowmen. It’s sensory play at its best.

Snow Paint

Turn your yard into a winter canvas.

What you’ll need:

• Clean snow

• Spray bottles or squeeze bottles

• Water + food coloring

Let kids “paint” directly onto the snow. No cleanup required!

REMEMBER: Dress warm, keep expectations low, and let them lead. Even 20 minutes outside can feel like a big adventure.

Warm-Up With Something Cozy

After playing outside, turn the cold into part of the fun.

Make it special by:

* Heating up hot chocolate or warm cider

* Letting the kids help stir or add marshmallows

* Snuggling up with a blanket afterward

* Play Your Fav Christmas movie, YEP I Said it.

These small rituals are often what kids remember most.

Snow-Themed Creativity Indoors

When everyone’s thawed out, bring the snow inside…TRUST ME… The creatively comes alive.

Try:

* Drawing or painting snow scenes

* Making paper snowflakes

* Writing or telling stories about the day’s adventure

It’s an easy way to slow things down and extend the fun without more screen time.

Embrace the COLD

Snow days don’t have to be productive to be meaningful.

A little cold, a little chaos, and a lot of togetherness go a long way.

Because sometimes the best memories are made when life slows down….
