Snowed in and stir crazy?

Ok, let's admit it--- there are only so many times you can take the kids sledding, have a snowball fight, and create your very own Frosty...... now what??  Here is a surefire way to keep the kids busy!

Fill a big storage bin half way with snow and put it on the kitchen floor.  Then try these easy ideas:

• Give them different size and shape spoons for scooping
  
• Gather small toys to bury in the snow (bath toys work well)
• Use cups and pans (bunt pans work well) to mold the snow into snow castles (think sand castles)
• Fill spray bottles with water and a drop of food coloring- let the kids make rainbow snow.
• Let the kids build mini snowmen.  Use things around the house to decorate it.
