Keeping the kids occupied when you are stuck inside due to winter weather can be tough. Thankfully, there are a few super fun activities you can do to help the time pass more quickly. Here are four to consider.

#1: Board Games

Board games are a great way to fill up the day when you’re stuck inside. But what about having your kids create their own versions? Give them construction paper, crayons, markers, and other art supplies. Have them work together to come up with game rules, draw the board, and make tiles, tokens, and other small pieces. Play the finished game together as a group.

#2: Get Dancing

Another easy way to beat winter break boredom is by having your very own dance party. All you have to do is turn on a few of your favorite tunes and get moving. Whether your kids have professional dance lessons to thank for their awesome groove ability or take a more abstract approach, they will have tons of fun. (And burn off some of that pent up energy!)

#3: Cook a Favorite Meal

It is no secret that kids love helping out in the kitchen. On a winter day, why not have your children help you cook a favorite meal? Not only will they learn by watching you work through the recipe, they’ll enjoy trying their finished creation. Even something as simple as homemade macaroni and cheese is fun to prepare for little ones, so getting fancy is purely optional. However, remember to supervise any activities that involve sharp objects, a stove, the oven, etc. for added safety.

#4: Dress Up

Beat winter day boredom by playing dress up. Break out any leftover Halloween costumes, silly hats, or other clothing apparel pieces. Transform your child’s look into something fun with cosmetics. Or even make your own masks out of construction paper. The possibilities and fun are nearly endless!
