Snow Day: Indoor & Outdoor Activities for Preschoolers

By kcharles, January 12, 2010 11:52 pm
After a long weekend of work, we declared today to be Snow Day. 
We built an igloo
 with a white sheet and our table. 
 
Constructed an Indoor Snowman
with toilet paper and a willing participant. 
Read our favorite wintry books
The Jacket I Wear in the Snow
The Mitten
The Snowman
And a really snazzy pop-out book my brother got the kids
 
Munched on Snowman Treats
with marshmallows, pretzel arms, and raisins.
 
Had a Snowball Fight
with all of our rolled up socks.
 
Ice Skated to Sara Groves
with wax paper ice skates on our feet.
 
We also went outside, 
for sled riding, real snowman construction, snow angels, footprint tracking, and general mayhem.
 
But the Indoor Snow Day proved to be much better, especially for The Little Man. 
 
The only thing he liked about being outdoors was his sweet snow pants. 
Very fond of said pants, they never came off.  “I take nap in pants.  Me look cute in them.” 
That’s our boy.

    Kristin,
    Your site is so nicely put together and you have such beautiful pictures! I didn’t know you were a talented photographer. These look like pictures clipped out of magazines, but they’re your pictures! I’m so impressed! Thanks for sharing your heart with us. Looks like you’re having lots of fun!
    With HIS love,
    Stacy :)

    It was really fun! Nice to take a break from work and PLAY!!!!! I think I had more fun than the kids:)

    Stacy, thank you for the kind words! As far as the photos go, I think it’s the good camera – not my skills! I’m still learning and have a long way to go:) But it is fun to play with it! Thanks for commenting:)

  6. [...] are plenty of penguin books at the library.  Our favorite was Augustine.  So cute!  As in our Snow Day, we threw a white sheet over the table and read books underneath, creating an igloo.  #gallery-1 [...]
