The kids may love Elsa and Anna from Frozen, but even they don’t have enough power to keep the little ones from getting bored during winter. Create fun activities that will encourage your child to move around and fight the winter blues away. Here are some ideas to help you out:
Build a cardboard playhouse
Pick up a large refrigerator box from a local builder, furniture store, or other wholesale distribution warehouse (often they are happy to give away big boxes). Tape one end shut and reinforce the sides with duct tape, then help your child cut a door and windows. Encourage your child to add control panels using things you have around your house, such as string, bottle caps, toilet paper rolls, or other recyclables. Source: WashingtonPost
Have an indoor picnic
After the indoor snowball fight, the kids will want to warm up with some hot cocoa. Throw a white blanket on the floor and sprinkle it with cotton balls. Place it near your fireplace or build a faux fire and place it in the middle of the blanket. Brew up a pot of hot cocoa, serve it with cookies or marshmallows, and let the kids gather on the floor for a warm winter picnic. Source: TheSpruce

Of course, it’s not just the kids who need to have fun during the winter. After a long day of work and play, you need to relax and soak all your troubles away. If they’re older than five, you can even let the kids play in the water for a few minutes, given that you’ve lowered the temperature for them. Get a hot tub today!
