It doesn’t always have to be gloomy in the winter, there are many things that can keep the kids entertained. Just use a bit of imagination!!!
These fun things to do are for kids and all the family to get involved with!!
Go outdoors and find a frosty spider’s web (then make your own using PVA glue and silver glitter)
Make a puppet theatre using leftover Christmas cardboard.
Create a bird feeder using a pine cone, lard and bird seed then take pictures of the birds as they feed in your garden!
Create your own puzzles. Stick a family photo, or a child drawn picture to card and cut it into shapes
Go bowling, it’s a great indoor activity for the whole family.
Go to a castle and be a knight. Don’t forget to make a shield out of card and foil before you go!
Create a campfire and toast some marshmallows
Collect shells and create fun pictures on the beach, or in the forest with stones and twigs.
Teach your kid to thread or sew, for younger children use cardboard with holes punched in it and string as thread.
Go on a scavenger hunt. Give kids photos of things to find or set up written clues to help older children find items outside.
Visit a pottery café and create your very own masterpiece.
