We got our first white stuff of the year this weekend, whether we were ready or not.\u00a0 The kids had a fabulous time having snowball fights and playing with it, though you really can’t tell from this picture of Alex!\u00a0 Victoria took it, and apparently his siblings forgot to find him a hat, poor boy!\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

It generally takes a while for kids to ever tire of good old fashioned playing in the snow, but if your kids are looking for some new things to do with it, here’s 10…<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Spray paint it with colored water.<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. Pack it into recycling bins to make giant bricks for forts.<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. Make snow aliens and snow beasts.\u00a0 Don’t forget extra eyes and antennas!<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n
  4. Make snow ice cream<\/a>.<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n
  5. Bring it inside, packed in a plastic box or cake pan, and let the kids color it with dried out markers.<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n
  6. Scoop up some very clean stuff and drizzle it with slightly diluted fruit juice concentrate for homemade (healthy) snow cones<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n
  7. Make watercolor snowballs<\/a>.<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n
  8. Pack it in pie pans and give the kids colored water and eye droppers to make beautiful designs in it.<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n
  9. Bring a big pan of it into the bath.<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n
  10. Or do all of these<\/a> snow related activities that require no snow at all!<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Now, who’s up for some cocoa?\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
