What to Do With Kids When It's to Cold to Play Outside

There is a time when the weather will have your kids stuck inside. Sometimes it is too cold, hot, or wet to let them be outside. For some reason, on days like this, kids seem to be in for a fight with everything. Here are some tips to make the cold days fly by for you and your kids. Keep anything age appropriate. Younger kids have short attention spans, while older kids need things to engage them.

(1) Cook together. Make breakfast together, like monkey bread and sausage balls. My kids' favorite is making cookies, pies, cakes, or all the above.

(2) Do art and crafts=, color, make jewelry, sock pupate, noodle art, or even instruments put on consent or art exhibit. And bring some money with you to " buy the art. or tickets."

(3) Help your kids put on a play, help them get dressed up, decide what to do space on, then sit back a watch.

(4) Play games on any games board, video, or things like hiding and seek. Younger kids will even help you clean if you make it a game.

(5) Make popcorn and watch movies together, From your child's favorite to something new.

(6) Stories- Read books or makeup stories together. You can make a tent out of sheets in your living room and tell scary stories.

(7) Dance- Turn up the music and have a dance companion or dance with your child for fun.

Most of all, have fun!!
