Ah, winter. The season of cozy sweaters, hot cocoa, and... kids bouncing off the walls because school's out again due to snow, ice, or arctic temperatures. As much as we love the magic of a winter wonderland, let's be real: keeping the little ones entertained during unexpected cold weather days can be a challenge that would test even the patience of a saint. Four in a week is just... excessive, right?
The Indoor Blizzard: It starts with a flurry of excitement – no school! Again! But as the hours tick by, the living room starts to resemble a snow globe that's been shaken one too many times. Toys everywhere, a trail of snacks leading to every corner, and screams coming from... is that a fort made out of every blanket you own, including your freshly washed bedsheets? Yes, yes it is.
Consider this your snow day sanity check. Need some help? Here's a few things that help us
Embrace the Chaos: Sometimes, the best strategy is to join in. Build that blanket fort and make it the castle of your living room kingdom. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em, am I right? Bonus: new background for your Team meeting.
Creative Crafting: Break out the art supplies for some impromptu crafting. Who knows, you might just have a mini Picasso in the making. But if you're like me and the mess of art supplies makes you less than the chill, relaxed, "cool mom," the Crayola Color Wonder art supplies are a lifesaver.
Indoor Obstacle Course: Use pillows, chairs, and soft toys to create a fun obstacle course. It's a great way for kids to burn off energy! For a lower barrier to entry, our family loves the Cosmic Kids Yoga and Miss Linky exercise videos on YouTube.
Story Time: When it's time to wind down, gather around for a story-telling session. It sounds obvious, but sometimes just gathering everyone around a book is the reset that's needed. Bonus points for on-theme books like this one.
