Keeping kids entertained in the cold months without a screen can sometimes be difficult. Nights are long, days are short, and the temps outside are freezing. If your house is anything like mine, you hear, “I’m bored!” more often than you’d like to. I’ve rounded up some of my favorite hands-on Kid’s Winter Activities so we can all survive the winter months a little easier.
These Kid’s Winter Activities will cover kids of all ages, and range from free printable activities, to hands-on crafts and experiments. There are SO many fun activities and ideas here, that I’m sure you’ll find something to keep those little hands busy this winter!
