Don't let a winter storm ruin the weekend. There are many ways to have fun indoors, from virtual events to family games.
As families deal with snow days and cabin fever, several low-prep activities can combat boredom and burn energy indoors. These include games and puzzles suitable for various ages, such as board games and jigsaw puzzles.
Movie marathons with themes, popcorn and blankets can also provide entertainment. Other options include crafts using basic supplies like paper and markers to make paper snowflakes, homemade cards, puppets or friendship bracelets.
Other Activities
Creating cozy nooks for reading stories, chapter books or graphic novels can be a relaxing activity. Kid-friendly recipes such as mini pizzas, cookies or trail mix can build skills in the kitchen.
Active play can include indoor dance parties, yoga videos, balloon volleyball or pillow obstacle courses. Quiet activities such as coloring, playing with Lego or Play-Doh, or brain teasers can provide downtime.
Free online science experiments, coding games, drawing tutorials, magic tricks or language basics can provide learning opportunities.
Balancing high-energy and calm moments, embracing cozy traditions and letting kids choose activities are all ways to make the most of being snowed in.
