Snow Activites For Children

In the winter, when there is snow on the ground and its cold outside, it may be tempting to stay in the house where its warm. But, unless its extremely cold, being outside in the wintertime is healthy for kids and there are a lof of fun things for kids to do in the snow. My kids like to spend a lot of time outside in the winter so I try to make sure there is never a lack of ideas for fun snow activities for them to do. This lens will highlight some of the fun activies for kids to do in the winter, such as building a snowman, making a snow fort & snowballs, sliding down hills on sleds and snow tubes, and making & drinking hot chocolate after a long day of snow activities. So, grab a coat, hat, and mittens and lets head outside for some winter fun!

Let's Build a Snowman!

Building snowmen

Decorating a snowman is a fun activity for kids to do in the snow

dog and snowmanThe best snow conditions for making a snowman is when the snow is wet and sticky. When the snow is sticky, its easy and takes very little time to roll a big snowball from a little one. You can use anything you want to decorate your snowman. My kids commonly use sticks and carrots and as you can see, they got a little creative with the hat. How many snowmen do you know have a pot for a hat? Also, our dog took advantage of the photo op and struck a lovely pose.

Lets Build A Snow Fort and Throw Snowballs!

Snow Forts

Another fun activity for kids to do in the snow

Snow FortWhats a lot of snow without a snowfort or two and a snowball fight? The old fashioned way is to roll your own snow balls together in a line or in the shape of a square. Make sure you leave a space for a door. Then pack snow around the structure to make it sturdy. The walls should be no higher than your shoulder so that you can easily throw snowballs over them. You can also use snow brick makers to construct the walls of your snow fort. Then all you will need are the snowballs and you are ready for your snowball fight.

A Snow House

If you would rather not make a snow fort, you may want to look into purchasing a snow house. All it needs is air and someone to "live" in it. The open doorway and windows make it easy to toss snowballs out of as well.

Friends of our have a little inflatable snow house and for my kids, its a novelty to have a winter house to play in. The best part is that its easy to deflate and pack away between storms or until the next snow season.

Snow Tubing, Sledding or Both?

Get Your Snow Tube And Your Sled

snow sledAnother fun thing for kids to do in the snow is sledding or snow tubing. All you need is a small hill where you break a little trail and kids will spend hours and hours sliding down the hill and walking back up again. Over and over and over. Snow tubing and sledding are both fun things for kids to do in the snow, a healthy activity, and the plus for parents is that the kids will be tired when they come back in the house. Its also a fun snow activity for the entire family and many people plan an afternoon or an entire day around sledding and snow tubing fun.

    i love to see snow falling but don't like the wetness or the coldness of it. I used to love playing in it when I was growing up.

    What a fun lens! It doesn't snow where we live, but if it did, we'd definitely have to reference this page frequently. Great ideas! Blessed and liked.
