Stuck inside with antsy kids on a cold, snowy day? Get rid of the boredom bug with these fun snow day indoor activities. From fake snow to indoor play with the real thing and everything in between, you’ll never hear “I’m bored!” on a snow day again. #BoredomBusters
We love snow here, but sometimes we get snow days when you just can’t bare being outside, even for a few minutes. You know… those days when it’s -20 degrees with the windchill and stepping outside just for a minute is cutting. Well, on those days, you need to keep the fun indoors. Either bring some snow inside for some of these fun activities, make a cute snow-themed craft, or make some fake snow for hours of sensory play.
