Snow Day Fun

You can feel the excitement about the possibility of a snow day tomorrow. The staff here at CCN gathered some fun ideas to make the day tons of fun!

Outdoor Activities:
1. Snow painting – spray bottles and water mixed with food coloring. Create designs on the ground, or color any snow sculptures.
2. Catch snowflakes on colored paper
3. Fox and geese – create a path of many loops in the snow. One person is the fox, and chases the others –geese- to tag them.
4. Make faces on tree trunks with snowballs.
5. Make Snow Cream! Click here for the recipe
6. Bundle up and head outside to sled, make snowmen, snow angels and shovel snow caves. Have hot chocolate and cookies when you come back in!
7. Take a walk and look, listen and feel the snow, then write a story about or journal the experience
8. Go on an icicle hunt

Indoor Activities:
1. Bake cookies, or other goodies… make extras for the neighbors.
2. Make gingerbread houses with graham crackers and icing.
3. Make toothpick & marshmallow houses, villages and people!
4. Read “The Mitten,” by Jan Brett at story time w/ children cuddled under their favorite blanket
