Brr! It was a very chilly, windy day here today. As i type this right now, my phone says the wind chill temp is -18 degrees. The weather has been this cold for weeks now, so needless to say the kiddos and i are getting a little bit of cabin fever.
I am always looking for new ways to entertain them, especially ones that don't involve them sitting in front of the TV for hours.
I thought, just in case you also are stuck indoors during this horribly cold season, i would share some ideas with you to keep your kiddos busy.
1. Play Dough - My kids LOVE play-dough and can play with it for HOURS!! Want to make it winter themed? Check out these ideas...

3. Build a fort - Pretend you are stuck outside, in a tent, during a huge snow storm. You can make it extra special and snack on some graham crackers while drinking hot chocolate in your "tent".
