Indoor Kid Activities Round-up

With living in the Midwest, I find myself continuously looking for indoor activities to entertain my toddler when it gets too cold to go outside. Thought I’d share a couple of great ideas I’ve found from other bloggers that are easy and fun.
If your kids like arts and crafts projects, you can help them create a paper plate snowman with easy-to-find objects around the house. The Busy Bee Kids Crafts blog has step-by-step instructions and tips for creating this. You can read it here. My favorite part is how little clean-up is involved with this one!
Another fun project is teaching your kids how to make an indoor igloo. I found some great ideas for making the igloo by re-using an old yogurt container and some basic art supplies on the Teaching Tiny Tots blog here.
When the kids are stuck inside and you’re weary of winter crafts, try timeless play-dough. It’s easy to make and you may have many of the items in your kitchen already. Jolly Mom has a great recipe for the dough, and you can even make it organic.
Even if you don’t live in a cold weather climate, these rice bag warmers from Make and Takes are sure to be a hit. You can use them on chilly evenings, or use them as a heating pad. The step-by-step instructions can be found at Make and Takes.
Let me know what you think or post a comment below with your own suggestions for creative, kid-friendly projects.
