Does Your Family Have Cabin Fever? Check Our These Cold Weather Activities For Children!

by Lou Klose


It's not easy to keep children entertained with fun activities for children throughout the long, cold winter. With the colder, shorter days, cabin fever can set in and with that, boredom. From sledding to arts and crafts, board games to building snow forts, there are plenty of wintertime activities for children (and for adults) and plenty of memories to be made in the process . Here are just a few ideas:

- Make a snowman as a family. Scavenge around the house for old hats, a carrot for his nose, buttons for his eyes, a scarf and whatever else they can come up with to being their creation to life. And, for kids with a tinge of sibling rivalry, you might want to consider having each make their own snowperson.

- Most towns have a skating rink nearby, so why not go ice skating as a family. Just be sure to have hot cocoa after you're done.

- Going Sledding is one of the most fun wintertime activities for children. It's also a great way to wear the kids out!! To really make the memory last, don't forget to take photos.

- Kids who love to learn about and explore nature might love a nature hike in the woods where you try to identify animal tracks in the snow.

- Making holiday wreaths out of leaves and pine cones from outside is a great activity for children who love to craft.

- Making holiday cards is another great crafting activity. Whether they're analog cards made from construction paper or digital photo cards, there are plenty of options to keep them occupied.

- Another of the great winter activities for children is cooking together. An aside: if you have a hard time getting kids to eat healthier foods, have them help in making the meal. Kids are actually far more inclined to eat any meal that they helped to create. Of course, baking sweets like cookies, treats and cakes is a fun kid activity too. These even make great grandparent gifts.

- Your local library or community center might also have a lot of activities on their calendar. They may have quilting or crafting classes, story hours and much more.

- Finally, there's the family game night. From board games to video games, this is one of the best activities for children and families.
