While kids relish in their new found freedom from homework and class assignments, parents can find the weeks of winter recess frustrating and slightly daunting with restless children. But winter break doesn’t have to be unwelcome. It’s a optimal chance to spend quality time with your school age kids, and do fun, creative activities the entire family can enjoy.
Don’t let Old Man Winter halt your outside activities! Explore your backyard and take your children looking for animal tracks. Bundle up and build a snow fort. Go ice skating or good ol’ sledding.
For indoor lovers, arts and crafts are especially fun! Cold days are perfect for creating science experiments. Or grab that home improvement list and get to fixin’! Allow your kids to help around the house with fixtures — give them their own flashlight, set of tools. You’ll create unforgettable memories and help domesticate your children.
Surprise your kids with a trip to an indoor water park. Grab the controller to your video game console and battle it out to their favorite video game.
Winter break can be a time of timeless memories and fun!
