Some chronic health conditions can require children or their parents to stay at home — sometimes for a few days, sometimes longer. During the colder months, it can be difficult for kids not to be able to go outside with their friends and enjoy winter activities. But there are fun, simple crafts and games they can do right at home — and adults can join in, too!
You won’t hear “I’m bored” when you and your children do the activities in this book on a rainy or snowy day — or any time of the year!
If you need some inspiration now, here’s a sample activity from the book to try!
Snow Dough
You can have all the fun of playing with snow while staying cozy indoors! Snow dough is packable, so you can use it to create snowballs, snowmen, and so much more.
You’ll need:
Can of shaving cream
Cornstarch
Sheet pan or bowl
Instructions:
1. Place 1 cup of cornstarch on a sheet pan, or in a bowl.
2. Add 1 cup of shaving cream and mix.
3. If too sticky, add more cornstarch, in small amounts. If too crumbly, add a small amount of shaving cream.
* You can store your snow dough in a sealed container. Reuse it by adding more shaving cream.
