By this time of year I tend to start getting sick of winter. Let's face it though, there is no escaping it unless I want to climb aboard a plane and fly south. Instead of getting grumpy about winter, why not celebrate it. I have gathered together 50 simple winter related activities for you to try. It includes everything from simple arts and crafts projects to tasty snacks and fun games.Here is a sampling of what you will find in my collection of easy winter crafts and activities:
- Gather several pairs of mittens. Sort them by size, color, design, left hand, right hand, etc.
- Make miniature igloos using marshmallows and frosting.
- Paint the snow using food coloring or tempera paint mixed with water. Put the mixture in a squirt bottle and have a blast!
- Make a snowstorm inside by tearing up several pieces of white paper. Place them on a sheet or towel, have everyone grab around the edge, and toss the snow into the air.
- Cut snowflakes out of coffee filters and hang them around the room.
- Finger paint snowflakes on the windows using white tempera paint mixed with a bit of dish soap!
