Snow Fun for the Housebound

My girls love playing in the snow. No matter how long they actually play in the snow or how deep it is, they love it.  On occasion though, I have been known to say "no" to playing in the snow.  When there is sickness or it's just that cold outside. Yes, I'm a meanie.  I have come up with a few good compromises.  Here are a few examples of what to do when going outside for snow fun just isn't gonna work.

Snow Art -

The Supplies - medicine droppers, food coloring diluted with water, tray of snow, water for rinsing droppers and lots of imagination!

Using only 3 primary colors makes mixing colors so much more fun.

Snow play -

Simply fill a large tub or bowl with snow and have fun. Simple yet satisfying for those who are housebound.

Hope this provides some inspiration.  Thanks for reading!
