Snowmageddon has hit Burlington. School is closed, buses are
cancelled, programs are postponed and kids are stir crazy! Thanks to momstown arts
and crafts, we have some great ideas of what to keep us busy during this
snow day. Hopefully there are a few things here to make the hours before
bedtime pass quickly for you too!
What could be more fun on a snowy
day at home, than to make a construction site
in your kitchen - using oatmeal, momstown has some great ways to use oatmeal to
inspire your kids' creativity and exploration.
Turn the indoors into a Winter Wonderland! Bring the snow indoors for a fun sensory
experience. Snow Cakes, Snow Castles and
sensory fun – all in your warm and toasty kitchen
Everyone loves playdough. Here’s a recipe to make at home! Try using cookie cutters, or how about your fridge magnets to see what impressions the letters make?
An Easy Sensory Activity is Shaving CreamPaint. Use colours and textures to make
your own fun creation! You can even
pretend it’s “snow”
Speaking of snow – did you know we’re focusing
on polar animals this month? Why not
make this cute penguin craft at home today.
It’s a cute mosaic and easy for kids of all ages
And after all this indoor activity – you must
be hungry. How about some tasty muffins
for an afternoon snack? Here’s a recipe
for some tasty (and easy) banana muffins
So what are you doing to keep busy during the
snow storm of the year? Comment below,
or come and visit us on twitter, Facebook or on our 24/7 message board and share

Whenever my kids are stuck indoors, we always put on an audiobook to accompany whatever they're doing. There's lots of great sites to download them, but we use this one a lot because all of the stories are free and original. Here's the link for anyone who is interested. http://www.twirlygirlshop.com/moral-stories-for-kids
