Outdoor Snow Fun: Igloos, Snowmen, and Forts!
Winter can get pretty dull. After a long season of snow, January rolling around can find you in a hard spot about what to do. What’s more, the kids aren’t always that easy to please either. However, here are some ideas that you can do to keep your kids happy and even keep yourself entertained, too!
Snowmen: Frosty isn’t the only one out there, and whether you make a dog, cat, person, horse, or similar structure, it’s a blast and you can even compete for the best snowman!
Igloos: These are a load of fun and fairly easy to construct by “cheating.” To build a strong one, heap snow into a huge pile and pack it down as tight as you can get it. Then remove some of the middle to create the opening inside and layer it on the outside. Put lukewarm water on top and wait for it to freeze. Voila! Instant igloo!
Forts: Create a fun fort for snowball fights and hanging out in by heaping snow into long walls like bunkers. Then construct platforms to stand on and foxholes to hide in. You have the perfect fort to battle with!
Remember to have fun out there this wintry season!
