Wintertime fun !

Keeping toddlers and preschoolers active in the winter is often a challenge , so we asked our expert ECFE and preschool staff to share their favorite cures for cabin fever . Here is a peek at the list of 50 + snowy and cozy winter fun ideas . Visit the ECFE tips and resource page for the complete wintertime fun list as well as a great list of winter book favorites - bit . ly / AH _ Wintertime _ Fun
Head outside
You may want to hibernate , but children still need fresh air during the winter . Grab your hat and mittens and enjoy the snow !
• Make patterns or tracks in the snow .
• Fill a spray bottle with water and a little food coloring to ‘ spray paint ’ the snow .
• Freeze a bucket of water then use a stick to ‘ carve ’ an ice sculpture .
Stay indoors
Some days it is just too cold or icy to go out . Ward off cabin fever with these ideas :
• Create an indoor obstacle course .
• Make marshmallow snow people or animals .
• Have an indoor beach party .
Whether we have no snow or too much snow , we hope you enjoy winter fun with your family - indoors , outdoors , or both .
