Winter is the perfect time for families to explore different activities they can do together. Just because its cold outside and the days are shorter, doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy each other’s company! Finding things to do in the winter may be more difficult that in the summer but with some planning, there are plenty of things you can do as a family.
Bundle up and get outside! Spending time outdoors together as a family is a great way to bring everyone together. Take out the cold weather clothes, bundle up, and head outdoors. If it’s snowing outside, build a snowman! Take your snowman to the next level with Alex Brand’s line of Sno-Kits. You’ll have the best looking snowman on the block. If you live in an area that doesn’t get snow, head out for a nature walk. The kids can journal what the wildlife and plants they see along the way.
Sit by the fire. If its too snowy or rainy to go outside, snuggle up with some blankets in a cozy spot near the fireplace. This is the place that everyone will want to be making it the perfect family time. Play some family board games, such as Hasbro’s Monopoly, read a book, or watch that movie you’ve been meaning to see. Don’t forget the popcorn!
Go ice skating! It may have been awhile since mom and dad have skated but this is the perfect time to dust off your skates and laugh with your family. When you’re done, enjoy a cup of hot chocolate with the kids!
Just because it’s winter doesn’t mean you have to be cooped up in the house all day. Embrace the season and have some quality family time that will have everyone reconnecting!
