One of our favorite spins on winter weather is allowing the kids to bring snow indoors!
We lay a towel down on the kitchen floor and gather up a few disposable spoons, non-breakable cups, and perhaps a few tiny toys. Then we fill a couple of bowls with snow and you create instant fun!
Playing with snow indoors allows your kids to experiment in a whole new way. They aren’t limited by the blustery weather and cumbersome, soppy mittens. They can take their time to explore texture, changing composition, and to just get creative with snow.
Our Bluey discovered that if you squeeze handfuls of snow in your fist, water drips out. He spent a good 20 minutes practicing this new skill, talking about the discovery, and theorizing on when it would be useful.
Bluey had a great time making little sculptures and changing snow into ice by adding water. All in the warmth of our home.
