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…
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!
