Crafty Corner: It's a Winter Wonderland

It's pretty out there right now - sun shining and glistening white snow but it's darn freezing out there! Really freezing! Yes, I think my kids should get a bit of fresh air but I don't want to head out there myself let along freeze their toes off!

So, last week I got a little resourceful. Home bound both by the cold temperatures and also the flu bug was running through our family, we were all going a bit nutty. Based on everyone's moods at 8:30am I knew we were in for a long day... so I put on my creative hat -- and did what no one expected!

I brought the snow INSIDE!

Yep, and the kids loooooved it. It wasn't packing snow outside but once it hit our warm kitchen the snow turned to great packing snow. My daughter loved makinm snow "cakes" and "icing" them for fun. My one year old son had fun with the chilly sensory activity. They played for almost an hour - with many refills for melting snow - and made me a convert. We will definately be doing this again!

Winter can somes feel bleak but it's a true cause for celebration too. In these chilly days we need some fun to pick us up! momstown communities are all holding "Winter Wonderland" parties this month to celebrate beautiful snowflakes and icy tempatures.
