Snow is falling and we’re staying cozy inside with pretend play activities for kids! Keep reading for 5 activities to add to your family bucket list to keep kids moving this winter. Plus, these activities can be completed with items already at home.
5 Winter Family Bucket List Activities
-
Build a Fort
A childhood classic: fort-making! Gather pillows, blankets, and even holiday lights if they are still handy. Kids can set up their forts for hours of play with books and coloring pages.
-
Pretend Play Town
With a little imagination, transform the living room into a bustling town! Using recycled cardboard boxes, the fort, and other toys to set up shops and cafes. Add the Scan & Sort Grocery Cart to the town’s grocery store and Flyer 500 to the carnival in the town square.
-
Decorate Paper Snowflakes
Whether snow is falling outside, or your family is looking to create your own winter wonderland, take a break from games to craft! Download our free snowflake worksheet to get started. With a parents help, cut out the snowflake, then add color, stickers or any other craft decorations at home to create fridge-worthy art.
-
Go on a Scavenger Hunt
Who says you need to go outside to go on a scavenger hunt? Bring the fun inside with our indoor scavenger hunt! Littles can collect their items in a walker wagon and push or pull the wagon as they complete their search. Add fun twists like playing iSpy for the items, or turning the scavenger hunt into a coloring sheet after the fun is done.
-
Create a Race Track at Home
Ready, set, go! Use masking tape to create tracks on the floor and set up obstacles on the course with pillows or stuffed animals. The Pit Stop Play features “fix-it” activities for the pit crew to tinker between laps or honk the horn for racing fun.
