Fun Indoor Activities for Your Next Snow Day

The weather outside is frightful, and your children got the day off of school. What’s your plan? While playing outside and making snowmen can eat up part of the day, sometimes your kids want a change of pace or they have more than one day off of school. What are fun indoor activities that you can take advantage of when you’re stuck at home on a snow day?

Fun Indoor Activities for a Snow Day

1. Try a New Recipe: Celebrating a snow day with homemade chocolate chip cookies is always a great idea, so get in the kitchen and get cooking! Have your children help you pick out a fun recipe to try with the ingredients that you have on hand. Baking and cooking are both great ways for kids to practice their math and science skills, and they get to eat the delicious results.
2. Build a Blanket Fort: A blanket fort is one of the best fun indoor activities that doesn’t require any extra supplies. Grab blankets and sheets and hang them over chairs and other sturdy furniture in your living room or your child’s bedroom. To set the mood, you can even add string lights! Whether you want to watch a movie or curl up with a good book, a blanket fort is a great place to do so on a snow day.
3. Board Games: Board games are a fun indoor activity perfect for the whole family. Chess, checkers, Scrabble and other classics board games can be played for hours. If you have multiple children who love playing a game like chess, you could have a mini tournament and allow everyone to compete.
4. Snow Ice Cream: By bringing some of the snow inside, your family can enjoy a delectable treat. Grab a large bowl and fill it with 10-12 cups of clean snow. Mix together one 10-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk and one teaspoon of vanilla and spoon it over the top. Mix it all together, and add more snow as needed to get to the perfect ice cream consistency.
