Indoor Snow Fun

indoor snow fun

We have been known  to have some major snow storms in NY and when this happens my kids constantly me to go outside and play. I am not a fan of the cold (subzero temperatures, no thank you) and inevitably I will bundle the kids up for about 5 minutes of play before they realize that they don’t like the cold either! Here is my solution…

baby pool snow

Supplies Needed:
– Baby Pool
– Waterproof Mattress Cover OR Large Garbage Bags
-Towels
– SNOW
– Toys or Kitchen Utensiles

I put the baby pool over a waterproof mattress pad but you could also use a few large garbage bags to keep the floor dry. On the edge of the mattress pad I placed a towel for them to stand on when they got out of the pool. Using a mixing bowl I put in about 7 large scoops of snow which lasted an hour!! They had tons of fun making snowmen and playing with the various kitchen tools I gave them (a spoon can provide more fun than you think!) and I got to sip coffee in the warm house while they played a way.

Happy Winter!
